Overview

A circular walk from Yorton to Harmer Hill and back through Newton on the Hill. The walk is mainly on field footpaths with a couple of short stretches on roads. The route takes along the ancient Bilmarsh Lane track, eroded over time by carts and livestock and along the Witterage. Expect stiles and mud. There will be one stop for coffee and another stop for lunch.
