The church of the Spencer family, ancestors of Princess Diana. As a curiosity, George Washington's great-great-great-grandfather is buried here :)

The area is great, lots of paths and variety, but the route given sticks to busy roads where you have to keep your dog on a lead. It also directs you down a private drive with no public right of way. Come to the area and follow your nose, not this route.

The path up to the Church is very steep and slippery when wet

The Fox & Hounds pub in the heart of Harlestone has beautiful interiors, great food, and a relaxing beer garden.
