Harlaxton and Denton, 28th June 2023

Thirteen on Rose's 4-mile walk starting at The Gregory Arms, Harlaxton.  The route took us down The Drift to the Grantham Canal and across fields to Denton Reservoir.  Climbing up Main Street we turned off to pass through fields of beans before crossing the A607 Grantham to Melton road and walking into Harlaxton Village.  The return took us through the grounds of Harlaxton Manor in the increasing gloom.

Gregory Cottages (GDG 1520), The Drift
Between 1790 and 1820, many houses in Harlaxton were rebuilt by George de Ligne Gregory, then further remodelled in a picturesque style by his son Gregory Gregory
