Overview

This leisurely walk from Wolverton House visits several locations that are of historic interest from the 11th to the 19th Century. It involves crossing the Grand Union Canal on a narrow lock gate and passing over the river Tove on an iron aqueduct. There is also a Norman motte and bailey. There are no stiles. Assistance dogs only please.
