The walk

Sandon Park Walk

This is an 'off-the-beaten track' peaceful countryside walk around the pretty Sandon Park and it's surrounding countryside.

Heading anticlockwise, you'll stroll through the open fields of the park itself, passing the Sandon Park Folly Tower on your left as you go. You'll then stroll through more open countryside until you touch into the village of Gayton where you'll meander through the grounds of a nice church.

After that there is a section of road walking along a quiet country lane before you cut back into some countryside to start the return journey to the start point, passing through the nice woodlands of Sandon Woods on the way.
