Crossing Poulton Field will take us up Regents Place into the Strips Woods to then descend St Margaret's Steps into Bridge St.
After crossing the Town Bridge we'll pass the Iron Duke, then gradually climb through the Kingston Farm estate to Cemetery Lane and through Woolley. The route continues through Sladesbrook Park and Leigh Park to return to the start via Bearfield and the terraces of Tory.
The walk is mainly on paths but there are several fields to cross and a couple of stiles.
