Overview

A circular walk taking in three churches and hopefully lots of bluebells.

From Woolverstone Church we will make our way to a coffee stop at Harkstead Church via Freston Wood.

We will then use quiet lanes and field edge paths to reach our lunch stop at Holbrook Church.

After lunch we will use mostly field edge paths to return to Woolverstone Church.
