Overview

From Normandy crossroads we walk through open fields with grazing sheep. Then up a slight hill for views south to the Hogs Back. The route will take onto the edge of the Ash Ranges, which will then lead us to a lovely coffee stop by Henley Park Lake.

Our return path will follow part of the Fox Way back to Normandy.
