Walk from Wootton St Lawrence to Hannington
This is just under 6 miles each way. The walk is all bridleway and the Parish Council has replaced the stiles with dog friendly kissing gates so that folks with mobility problems who cannot negotiate stiles or those with larger dogs can enjoy the walks around the parish.
