THE ROUTE: Starts at Crick Community Sports Centre car park, Yelvertoft Rd, Crick, Northants NN6 7TF . This walk is full of surprises and adventure. There are mystery plaques under your feet as you cross the bridge, before working up a sweat as you climb up and over Cracks Hill. Release that inner child and have a go on the rope swing and perhaps have a quick chat with the sheep. Check out the famous beacon and take photos of the views before making your way down the hill and onto the footpath that leads to Yelvertoft. Spot herons as you walk along the canal and admire the boats as you pass the marina. If you have time to visit All Saints church in Yelvertoft then please do so. On your way back to Crick, the walk takes you through the magic of Millennium Wood, where you can spot an array of wild flowers, fauna and animals (there is an information board telling you what to look out for). As you exit the woods, head over the bridge and back through Jubilee Woods to collect your car.
