the road on for 4 miles to Chapel Row, where L at the triangle then first R SP Stanford Dingley. After passing
The Boot, turn L at the T junction for the Bull. The pub has been smartened up and enlarged, but you can still play 'Ringing the Bull'. Beer and snacks are very good, as are the meals, with competition from The Boot round the corner. You can start and finish this walk at The Boot or The Pot Kiln of course. |
