Hallaton and Cranoe 5 miles (8km)
Hallaton
Route A mix of pasture and arable fields. Lots of hills, with com-pensatingly fine views from the high ground. Hallaton sits very prettily in a hollow to the east of its old castle site.
Hallaton, the scene of the Easter Bottle Kicking ceremony, is a village full of interest. The church is lovely and the houses round the green as pretty as a picture. After your walk a visit to Hallaton museum is worth while. Open May/Oct. Saturdays and Sundays 2.30 – 5pm
The route passes the site of the very impressive 11th century motte and bailey castle.
