May Walk and Lunch - Thursday 7th May Good afternoon walkers. Please find below the information about the next walk which will be led by Tony and Margaret. Kind regards, Marilyn Park at the Davenport Arms, Marton, on the A34 for a 10.00am start. The pub is open at lunchtime and serves a variety of food. We've made a booking but they would like to have our food orders at least 4 days in advance. If you want to have lunch, please email Tony with your order by 3rd May. The walk is about 4 miles, partly along quiet lanes, partly on farm tracks and through fields with short stretches on the pavement of the A34 at the beginning and end. There are 3 stiles, all only 2 steps and a number of cattle grids which can be avoided by using a gate. There are some ups and downs but no steep slopes. When we did our recce in early April, there were a few patches of mud but nothing very bad. We saw rabbits and pheasants and heard other birds, possibly including peacocks! Almost at the end of the walk there is an opportunity to visit Marton Church, a small half-timbered building dating from the 14th century. If time permits, those interested can call in and see the pre-Reformation wall painting (painted over but now partially recovered) and baptismal font. Looking forward to seeing you, Tony & Margaret Walking pictures are available in the Photo Gallery - Click here |
