Overview

An initial steep ascent quickly eases and the metalled track continues with a steady ascent to Haycombe Hill Farm.  From here we follow rolling tracks to Little Sutton Wood.  The return takes us up and down Long Bottom valley and down Tytherington Hill, to Tytherington (not surprisingly) perhaps!).  Here there are lovely old buildings and an ancient church which hopefully will be open for a quick browse, before we continue along a pretty stream to the now disused romantic ruins of St Leonards Church on the outskirts of Sutton Veny, and back to our cars at the current Church.  Expect hills but no stiles.
