Overview

In the morning we will head towards Newton Bromswold before looping around to reach Melchbourne village in time for lunch. We will have our lunch around Melchbourne (which is roughly the halfway point), before heading to the St Johns Arms pub just outside the village for a quick drink. There probably won’t be time to buy food from the pub, so please bring a packed lunch with you.

In the afternoon we will start out from the pub and head to Upper Dean and then the hamlet of Shelton, before heading back to Yelden.
