Overview

From the overflow car park at the Highfield, permission given, we walk along the road for a short way to reach the track to Scarscrow Farm, scene of the first ghost story. We then take field paths to Eccleston, where we join the River Yarrow which we will follow back to Croston, returning via the Church and the second ghost story, 

The walk is flat there are two ghosts, one dangerous cockeral and a dodgy stile or two.
