Introducing Beetham Nurseries, the sponsor for our Fairy Steps walk.
We start our walk on Stanley Street, nearby Heron Theatre. Please do not park on the Theatre carpark, as this is private land.
Proceed down Stanley Street towards Leighton Back Lane. Half way up the road, turn left into a farmers field. The public footpath is sign posted close by a BT phone box (now used to house a defibrillator).
Eventually we will reach a walled off path… with the narrowest entrance!
After a short walk down the trail, you’ll end up back in another farmers field. Keep right and proceed through the field, until you reach another stiled exit.
From here, we begin our first, short ascent up through the woods.
After 10 metres or so, you’ll need to turn right. Don’t miss it.
Before long, you will reach a gate with wired fence. Follow the path around to the right, with the fence now on your left.
Eventually you’ll find yourself stood on some incredible terrain!
