This walk started in Monkton Farleigh and almost immediately went along a tree lined avenue from the manor house for something over a mile until the imposing gates at the carriage entrance were reached. Then north towards Kingsdown walking along the Macmillan Way, crossing the Roman Road and onto the Palladian Way before returning to Monkton Farleigh. This was an almost level walk with masses of snowdrops and daffodils together with the birds celebrating the arrival of spring. The views would have been impressive but for the amount of low cloud.
The walk started down ‘The Avenue’ in front of Monkton Farleigh Manor
Many fields are now full of spring crops
The walk incorporates some of The Palladian Way
If you were in any doubt that spring is on the way - a walk in the country should reassure you!
Refreshments can be taken at The Muddy Duck in Monkton Farleigh
