Overview

The walk is flat, over grass fields, soil footpaths and fieldside tracks, there is one stile to climb twice. Park at Moorlands Nature Reserve, walk round the reserve, then a track before entering fields to walk to Shipton. Care must be taken for the first 100yds of East Lane where there is no footpath on this busy minor road. We will have a short break near the Community Centre.

A well used path away from the A19 takes us through the village. Return initially over different fields, then retrace our outward route to Moorlands. If it rains beforehand there could be wet grass and mud in places

Approx five and half miles taking Two and a half hours including a break.
