Overview

A delightful circular walk through hamlets, meadows, fields and spooky churchyards. We'll be starting at the shopping village in Castle Ashby and walking to the hamlet of Chadstone. From there we'll be walking across open fields and woodlands to Cogenhoe Mill where we'll take a short break. Suitably refreshed, we'll continue along the canal towards Whiston and back to Castle Ashby.
