Overview

We start with a short walk around Empingham before heading north to Horn Mill and Fort Henry. We then head west towards Exton and pick up a steep sided river valley in an easterly direction back to Horn Mill and then south back to Empingham.

Walking on footpaths but also on a few quiet lanes so caution should be exercised at all times.

There will be the usual stops for coffee and then for lunch.
