Join us on this 20k Guided Hike, led by our knowledgeable walk leaders.
We will depart and finish at Londonthorpe Woods Car Park. The walk will take us across Belton Estate, up Green Lane, past the White House, before walking along to Barkston Airfield. We will then descend Minnett’s Hill before entering Barkston Village for a spot of lunch by the river (please bring your own). From there the walk gently ascends to Peascliff Tunnel before heading back to Belton Estate and across to Bellmount Tower.
There will be two drink stops along the route.
Social walks are a great opportunity to meet new people, discover new places, and build your confidence walking in the countryside.
