Overview

Starting from the Holly Bush pub in Salt we take a short climb to the top of the hill where we walk tree-lined bridle paths over to Hopton with wonderful views. At Hopton we will have a short break on the village green. Then we set off west over hayfields with far-reaching views north, a short lane walk to the canal and a towpath trek back to the pub.

Apart from the initial hill, it is pretty undulating, with four stiles. 

Please bring your own refreshments.
