Overview

The second of three linear walks on a Saturday afternoon before the days get too short. (See also 28th October).

The walk leaves Stretton on the first of two ridges before crossing Paddle Brook (it's OK , there is a footbridge!  The path here is a bit overgrown but passable). The walk continues west along a quiet road on the next ridge (good views) to Paxford.  We then follow the Knee Brook valley to Aston Magna and return to Moreton via Dorn.   Several short cuts are possible if conditions dictate.
