Overview

A relatively level circular walk from Ruyton XI Towns along field footpaths and some quiet country lanes to the churches of Little Ness and Great Ness, finishing near the church in Ruyton XI Towns, all of which should be decorated ready for Christmas. The walk will also take in the wonderful views from the Cliffe, weather permitting, with a gradual ascent to achieve this. Expect a couple of stiles, a small stream to ford and some mud if it has been raining. There will be a stop for coffee and another for lunch.

Your walk leader will meet you at the starting point.
