One of our favourite walks which takes us down through the woods to the lake, skirts the lake and then heads out following the feeder for the Trent and Mersey canal and the young river Trent along the valley, before turning back for the climb back up to St. Anne's church following what we assume was an old road into the village but which is now little more than a track through a field used to graze cattle. After a steep climb out of the village we return over Marshes Hill, passing the trig point, crossing the common and then decending through the fields to complete the loop by Lion's Paw farm, before returning home, 500m further up the lane.
