Walker review

Lovely walk in the countryside with a Roman villa and an old windmill to view

Walker review

A lovely walk through some open fields, a little woodland and a chance to see the remains of the Roman villa. All the paths were still dry and it was a great walk for my dog who was mostly offleash except for a little road walking and a field of sheep. If you walk this route anti-clockwise, be aware that you need to go through the churchyard of St. Mary’s as you reach North Leigh to pick up the path through a gate to the left of the church as the footpath has been divurged.
