Overview

Have you heard of Fownhope’s Bare Knuckle Fighter Tom Spring? Walk will take you across the countryside to his memorial, followed by a woodland walk to the Scutterdine Lime kiln and to hopefully see the Mordiford Dragon.

Walk will be on tracks and grassland with a small amount of pavement and lane walking. If wet may be muddy in places.
