Summary: Our final walk is the quintessential English countryside trip with stunning uninterrupted views across rolling fields along with a long trip down a beautiful canal. Perfect for those who want to a peaceful and calm walk, this route will take you across mostly green flat land with the occasional passing of a nice pub and a small village. While you walk, learn about the history of the three villages on the eastern edge of the district: the thriving countesthorpe, the small Kilby and the now long-lost village of Foston. A fascinating story of three villages with very different developments.
