Overview

We start from the village of Headon which was an Anglo Saxon settlement, the ' heah dun ' or high hill. The walk is mostly fields, with lovely views. We have lunch at Grove church, and return to Headon through Headon Park, where a cottage built in 1792 that was once a school for the surrounding villages, stands. We return to the village hall which was built as a school in 1899 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
