Stride out and join us on a 4 km archaeological walk to Bratoft Manor (the former home of the Massingberd family). This walk will take you to the wider estate and pass through the old medieval village of Gunby.

A wonderful opportunity to explore more of the Gunby on this guided walk to Bratoft Manor. The walk is a 4 km 'there and back' walk and you'll learn about the history and nature along the way. The walk is suitable for most, although the ground may be very muddy and soft underfoot and unsuitable for wheelchairs.
