Overview

We leave from St Mary's Church taking the footpath through the woods and across the fields down to Pitsford reservoir. On our way we can admire the memorial to Lynn Wilson in the cricket ground and the stunning views over the water. Our route takes us round the Reservoir and past the cafe where we will have a short break before continuing to the Causeway and back to Holcot
