We welcome everyone to join us for a walk across rolling fields and through woodland from Walkern to Bennington. From Walkern recreation ground we will follow the river Beane then walk up through High Wood, out of the Beane valley to Bennington. Passing Bennington Lordship, we can look out for snowdrops. From Bennington we will walk along Duck Lane and past Walkern Hall then back to Walkern across fields with far reaching views. In Walkern we walk past the church and then alongside the river Beane, back to the start.
The walk is mostly on good tracks, there’s some minor roads and a bit along pavements in Bennington and Walkern. On the recce, there was one field with ponies.
Parking at Walkern recreation ground has been agreed.
There are pubs and The Brewery Tearoom in Walkern for post walk refreshments . We will stop in Bennington for a short mid walk break, please bring your own drinks and snacks.
