Overview

A figure of eight over familiar paths around Ryarsh.  We have not visited this area for about three years and this walk is less challenging than some we have done in the past.

In the morning we loop around to the west via Ryarsh Church, East Street and Trosley Court returning to the Duke of Wellington at Ryarsh for a pub lunch or sandwiches nearby.

The afternoon will be a shorter walk initially heading north (but avoiding the climb up to Pilgrim's Way and returning via Birling and Birling Wood.
