Overview

The walk includes part of the shoreline path round Pitsford Reservoir and visits Holcot, Walgrave and Old.  There will be some muddy stretches but there are no cultivated fields and the route is mostly grass or made-up paths.
There will be a lunchtime stop in the White Swan pub in Holcot where it is okay to eat our own packed lunch if buying a drink.  The pub doesn't serve food so please bring all that you need for the day. Please bring boot covers or be prepared to remove your boots in the pub.
Assistance dogs only please.
