Overview

Undulating walk linking St James's Academy, Crigglestone to St Peter's Church, Woolley through Seckar Woods, not only a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) but has a swimming pool! Some steps and stiles. Packed lunch. No toilets. Whilst Crigglestone is fast growing residential area Woolley is a vast contrast as a hamlet untouched by the industrial Revolution.
