See maps on Page 2
Starting from Helmdon, the route passes under the former Great Central Railway and follows footpaths westwards via Grange Farm to join the byway leading northwards to
Stuchbury Hall Farm. This part of the route passes near to the locations which were proposed for the five turbines. From Stuchbury Hall Farm, the route follows the farm road to Stuchbury Cottages and then via footpaths to Sulgrave Village. In the village, the route crosses the churchyard and then via Stockwell Lane to the footpath leading to Barrow Hill.
At the point shown on the map, the route leaves the footpath and crosses fields to
Sulgrave Farm. Walkers with dogs are asked to note that there are sheep in these fields.
Major and Mrs Magnay of Sulgrave Farm have kindly invited walkers to cross these fields to their house, where the route terminates and refreshments will be provided.
The route from Helmdon to Sulgrave Farm is approximately four and a half miles, so leaving time for taking in the views, arrival at Sulgrave Farm might be around 1.00 pm.
We need to make arrangements in advance for ferrying people between the start and finish points as necessary.
