Overview

From the Riding Centre we will follow the road down to the river, which we will follow to come out through Dobridding Wood and from there to Mercyfield Wood.. We then follow paths back through Balderstone and Osbaldeston Green round Oxendale Hall back to the start. Some of the paths are not often walked so can be overgrown. There are tales of hauntings and murders to be heard along the way.
