Overview

This is a varied walk using field paths and quiet lanes. There are good views on a fine day. We walk to, and around, Olivers Castle before taking a steep descent to the village of Heddington.  We walk round the side of Beacon Hill which gives us views across to Bromham. The walk continues to Roundway finishing with a walk back up to the start point.

This can be a muddy walk, poles or sticks could be useful.
