Overview

From the Calleva Atrebatum CP we will walk north to the centre of Mortimer and then a little beyond before turning east and then south returning via Mortimer Stratfield & Brocas Lands farm. The walk is largely level but still quite varied with farm land, woodland, village tracks and the central playing field area of Mortimer. Some long range views.

Will stop once for a break so, at your discretion, bring hot/cold drink and something to eat.
