A moderate and gently undulating walk of around 8 miles starting from the Swan Hotel car park in Forton. There are a variety of tracks, fields, minor roads and woodland areas as well as a stretch of canal.  We pass through some attractive villages and see some interesting buildings. The walk heads NE from Forton skirting Sutton before heading to Weston Jones. We then pass through the villages of Loynton, Norbury and Oulton before returning to the Swan at Forton for refreshments.  One or two awkward stiles.
