Overview

This walk will be led by Kerry Eames, and will start from the Stansted Gardens overflow car park on the right-hand side just before you drive into the Garden Centre car park itself and will take a circular route up past Stansted House, out towards the back fields and on to the back edge of the estate where we will then walk across to join the steep little road back towards Stansted where you can look down out over Walderton and the Kingly Vale area, before heading back on fairly good road/gravel track to Stansted Garden Centre.

This should be a mainly dry walk underfoot except where we have to cross the edge of a field, which may be muddy and slippery depending on weather conditions at the time.
