West Leake and West Leake Hills, 5th May 2024

Sue's 6-mile walk took eightteen of us up to the West Leake Hills along tracks and through Crow Wood, past the golf course and back along a mixture of quiet lanes and field paths.

The start near St Helena's Church, West Leake

The Cuckoo Bush mound is the alleged site for the tale of the Wise Men of Gotham’s attempt at fencing in the cuckoo but is actually a Neolithic burial mound. It is about three thousand years old and it was excavated in 1847

A constant companion down in the Trent Valley

To be decommissioned in September - or not!
