ヘルプストンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Lovely walk, easy to follow. Pretty & peaceful route. Was quite muddy in places so hiking boots essential

Southey Woods entrance is now blocked and the car parks that used to be inside the woods are now gone. The barrier at the entrance stops you from driving in. However, you can walk past the barrier and still hike, bike or walk in the woods. It is a popular area for dog walkers and hikers.

Great pub opposite;The White Hart👍

Good stopping point on this route, shaded by trees , time to cool down, take a sip from your drink bottle, munch a bar, and contemplate the meaning of John Clare's words. Meditate upon his greatest wish to be at home with family and friends as he anticipates his death but note his optimism when, though linking death to winter, he draws on the symbolism of the evergreen laurel and plays with the word "leaves". And so by now it is time for you to leave and hope you are not to be further occupied waiting for a train at the Helpston crossing. Happy Cycling - its lovely country.

Loads of blackberry bushes

The Millstone Inn in the village is a cafe as well as a pub.

Not the most notable of the local churches but the hilltop position set back from the road makes it a landmark.

When visiting Barnack have a look at the Hills and Holes National Nature Reserve on the south-west edge of the village. This is a former mediaeval quarry which is now hummocky grassland full of wild flowers in the summer. Stone from the quarry was used in Peterborough and Ely cathedrals, amongst others. The Barnack area is easily reached by a network of quiet lanes.
