Located in Great Witcombe and not too far from the hall, this is a great place to have a brisk walk to.  On the way you'll be passing Witcombe Cricket Club which during the summer holds an amazing summer fayre.  You'll really get the atmosphere of typical British village life on this brisk walk especially on a summers day.
