Overview

A delightful circular walk starting in Sywell. We'll be walking to the picturesque village of Mears Ashby and, if the church is open, taking a look at their famous Doom painting. Then we'll be walking across field paths towards Sywell Country park. There will be wonderful views of the reservoir as we approach. We'll have time for a break at the Sywell Country Park cafe before making our way back along the reservoir path.
