Maplebeck, Kersal and Eakring, 21st February 2018


John B lead a group of six on today’s 9½ mile walk over rolling farmland and woods starting at Maplebeck, taking in views of Eakring and visiting the hamlet of Kensal.  Here are Roger's and Bill's photographs.

We passed through Mansey Common now managed by the Wildlife trust which has been grazed and managed for over 700 years ...

... and then through Dilliner woods.
