Overview

This is the sixth of a series of 6 linear walks (all on selected Thursdays through to July 27) that follow the Stone Circle Challenge walk in the Stone Circles book. This came about because I have walked all the smaller Stone Circles but not the large one and wanted to do this. Dividing it into 6 makes for very manageable walks averaging 6 miles, not a challenge at all. This last walk of the series is gentle and will be taken at a leisurely pace. It is on fields, tracks and minor roads. Some of the fields are a little uneven underfoot and there is a small patch of bog, but mostly paths are good. There are pretty brooks and peacocks.
