Broughton 4 spires

8 miles. With Maureen. Dry, warm sunny, but there was still some mud underfoot.



This walk was taken from the Broughton Bystander's blog. His directions are excellent, making the walk very easy to follow - with a couple of checks of the map en route.



Varied - some woodland, Cransley reservoir, some village walking and just a couple of ploughed fields, which we could have avoided.



The walk takes in the four spires of Broughton, Thorpe Malsor, Loddington and Great Cransley. I can't improve on the description in the link above, but here are a few photos.

We finished our outing with lunch in the beer garden of the Red Lion at Broughton.
