Overview

On this walk we will visit Florence Nightingale's grave at East Wellow Church and also see the result of recent investment by HCC in our RoW network with the replacement of the badly broken boardwalk on West Wellow footpath 22. To include these points of interest requires a few more stretches of road but the roads are quiet country lanes. There are 4 stiles on this walk. Please bring drinks/snack for a mid-walk break
