Overview

Walking from Orton along good paths and green trods we will carefully negotiate one busy road for a short while before turning off onto quieter paths and lanes until we reach the Great Asby Nature Reserve. We will then drop down a lovely green track passing the Gamesland Stone Circle on our return to Orton. Chocolate lovers may wish to visit the famous Chocolate Shop in Orton.
