Overview

Leaving the Bell Inn we follow footpaths and quiet lanes to reach Croft Castle. Heading down Fishpool Valley we emerge onto Bircher Common and walk the lower common to Leys Lane. We follow the lane down to Bircher village and walk fields and quiet lanes back to Yarpole for lunch at the Bell Inn. 

If you wish to join us for lunch please book a place with walk leader by 11th April.

Care will be needed as we cross the busy B4362 twice.
