Overview

This is a leisurely 3-mile walk on level terrain (mostly pavement) round an attractive garden suburb, created by John Innes (of compost-making fame). We will pass Arts and Crafts houses, visit John Innes Park with its fifteen varieties of holly and wander through a medieval glebe field. There is nowhere to buy refreshments so bring your own if desired. Loos in the park.
