Walk details

We start our walk at the local recreation ground heading up Churn Hill towards Churn Farm. We then walk briefly along Blewbury Down before turning north along the gallops and back into Blewbury.

There are some small hills on this walk but we'll be going at a gentle pace giving us a chance to take in the stunning views.
