Overview

A gentle walk, mainly on good paths (with just a short muddy section), through Weston Common woodland and field tracks. There are no stiles and just a short section on road. We will stop for a refreshment break at the delightful church in Weston Patrick before returning steadily uphill to Avenue Nurseries with its excellent cafe.
