Overview

This pleasant country walk starts at the village of Orston. From the village, we head along a track called Moor Lane. After going under the railway, the we join another track, Orston Lane, which leads to the village of Whatton. We then take a path over the River Smite and onto the picturesque village of Aslockton. By the village church, we take a path back to the River Smite. We follow the grassy banks of the river to a nature reserve then Orston Bridge. Orston is a short walk along the road.
