Overview

Circular walk mainly on public roads, to avoid the inevitable mud, beware traffic.

Start from playing fields then down Main Rd (path), turn east at bottom of hill onto Edwin's Hall Rd (no path), follow to Hawe's Wood, skirt around south of wood then turn North along Bridle Way at unnamed road turn East to Crows Lane and follow, back to Main Rd. Cross road back to Lodge Rd.

If weather improves we could use footpaths across some fields.
