This circular walk is full of variety going out into open fields, through woodland and into the pretty villages of Chapel Brampton and Church Brampton.  The outward journey follows a section of the Brampton Valley Way to Harlestone Firs.  Leaving the Brampton Valley Way we follow field paths and a railway crossing to the new (unopened) link road.  The walk then takes us through Harlestone Firs with its magnificent beech and chestnut trees.  Leaving Harlestone Firs behind, this picturesque walk continues across a golf course, through the village of Church Brampton, and returns across peaceful fields to The Windhover. Refreshments available after the walk at The Windhover.  Lunch can be pre-ordered in the pub before the walk.
