Overview

This gentle walk takes us out from Nuffield Church ( the resting place of Lord Nuffield ) along Grimms Ditch towards Newnham and the disused 12c church of St Mary. We then head to Mongwell where we will visit the disused church of St John The Baptist, which lies on the abandoned estate of Mongwell Park and Carmel college. We return to Nuffield over fields and through Mongwell woods. There should be some Autumn colour and fungi on our way. Please bring food and drink for the day.
