Little Compton Walk 2

Time
3.5 hours
Route type
Circular

Take a circular walk that leads you through the charming villages of Long Compton and Little Compton, just over the border into Warwickshire.

There is quite a bit of a climb through fields with medieval ridge and furrow before you reach the crest of an escarpment. Here you will have some excellent views.

There are pubs in both villages so you can reward yourself after a really exhilarating walk!
