Bealings and Playford Loop - Upper Route

A walk of about 3.5 miles, through the very picturesque scenery of the Fynn Valley around Little Bealings and Playford. The route starts at Little Bealings Church. The route initially goes south towards the River Fynn, then just before the bridge the path turns right into the fields and then continues on to Lux Farm. On emerging from Lux Wood, sweeping views can be found to the north and towards Little Bealings. The walk descends to Playford before ascending again to Playford Church along the sleepy village paths. Don't miss the monument to Thomas Clarkson in the churchyard and his burial place, who was instrumental in stopping the slave trade. The walk proceeds north and then turns back towards Little Bealings across Hundred Acre Field south of Holly Lane, where the reward is a wonderful view looking south across the Fynn Valley. Watch out for the the unusual, picture-postcard water tower at Playford Mount, West of Hundred Acre Field! It is not uncommon to see Buzzards and occasionally Kestrels flying over the valley.

Smartphone users:  the map may be clearer using your web browser rather than the downloadable app, especially to read the waypoint information.
