Description of the walk

Start at Crofton Community Centre.

(S/E) Walk on the new, broad path opposite the blue wheel past the Rugby Football Field and onto Spring Lane. Turn right and follow a good path and up a gentle hill.

(1) At the top of the hill, just before the house on your left, turn right and walk along a narrow path. After about 100m continue right on the main path which winds up a gentle hill through a plantation. The path then descends. Continue to a water area – this is The Willows.

(2) Walk past the broad kidney shaped lake. At the crossroads turn right onto a broad track and walk to the top of Low Hill. Continue straight ahead past the playing fields.

(3) Follow the path along a ridge to the end of Middle Road. Turn right at the houses and return to the Community Centre.(S/E)
