Overview

A lovely circular walk from Piddington to Salcey Forest and back, across fields, meadows and forest paths. We'll be starting at The Spread Eagle pub in Piddington and walking to Salcey Forest, a medieval hunting ground containing some ancient oak trees and wood banks. We'll be stopping at the cafe in the forest for a break and then heading back to Piddington. We'll be walking  across fields and meadows on clearly defined paths. There are no stiles to navigate or cattle to avoid.
