We started from the long stay car park next to Tesco. Into the edge of town then out on the Monarch's Way to Broadwell. Along the lanes to Donnington, past the monument to the Battle of Stow (1646) and Donnington Brewery to Upper Swell. On the Heart of England Way to Lower Swell turning left at Hyde Mill for a gentle climb back to Stow again on the Monarch's Way. Back through the town centre. Cool and a few spots of rain.
Just over 8 miles and 800 feet of ascent. 31? on the walk.
