Don't forget your binoculars and allow yourself enough time, as you'll often stop and enjoy the scenery. Wear good shoes, as the path is slippery and uneven in places.

Beautiful, peaceful church with a long and fascinating history, first established in 899 and now a Grade I-listed Anglo-Saxon church built in the 11th century and added to over the centuries.
