Ratley - Warmington 4.4 miles completed

This was an excellent walk lead by David. I think it is one of our best ones. This email is mainly to tell you that the maps are now available again online. WDU3A has paid the copyright fee. So if you missed the walk there is a link to our WDU3A map bank and other information at the bottom of this post. We had very good sandwiches at the Rose and Crown. All in all a good morning out!

**************************

The ancient village of Ratley is on the Warwickshire/Oxfordshire border on the northern extremity of the Cotswolds escarpment. It is a beautiful hilly walk with views over Sor brook. The paths and tracks are wide and the views far.  There are a few stiles and short steep climbs.

Parking
