Overview

The LYVEDEN WAY is a 10-mile circular trail.  We follow the marked trail towards Lyveden New Bield which we can see from the path (It's owned by the National Trust and well worth a visit on another occasion). From here the route takes us to pretty Wadenhoe where the churchyard makes a good vantage point for a lunch break, before returning through Rockingham Forest to our starting point. We will be too late for the bluebells, but are bound to see cowslips and red kites.
