July 15, 2025,Clifford Hill - Motte loop from Cogenhoe

Mainly flat with one small incline over a field. The first field had horses in which look like long term residents so just be aware if walking dog. Small sections of road but there were pavements available. Passes through the wetlands reserve so some pleasant scenery, but also passes aling the edge of a large caravan park.
