This short walk follows the river and offers a lovely taster of the area.
The walk starts from the Maypole pub, presently closed (although the Boars Head opposite is open). Head away from the main road until it reaches and passes the Primary School. Follow the lane as it bends right and heads towards the Norman church of St Mary’s. The entrance is to the right and it is worth exploring the large, well-kept graveyard. A lane runs alongside the church if you do not wish to.
From the far side of the church head along the lane for 250 metres till it reaches a river (Long Preston Beck). Before arriving at the beck there are some stables on your right with some friendly horses often sticking their noses over the wall!
