Overview

We follow the River Manifold eastwards briefly, then veer to the right over Oldpark Hill to reach the ruins of Throwley Old Hall, dating from the early 1500s. Heading south and then west, we skirt the edge of the village of Calton, and then head northward along the River Hamps, and the slopes on the west side of the valley, back to the start.
