Overview

From Alstonefield we zig zag our way across fields towards the Manifold Valley. Having traversed along the edge of the Manifold Valley towards Wetton, we then ascend across access land to the top of Wetton Hill offering (if the weather is fine) great views for our lunch stop. The descent zig zags below the bottom of the hill and across to Alstonefield.
