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.
We start with a ten minute bus journey from Moreton-in-Marsh station bus stop to Stretton-on-Fosse on service 51 towards Stratford (£2 cash or card fare or free for Concessionary Pass holders. Meet at 12.20 for the 12.30 bus.
Suggested free parking along the Batsford Road (SP 2050 3285 / w3w fund.foremost.eased) near where our path finishes or alternatively in the town centre. (Parking at the station £3.50, NO cash).
