Parks & Nature
Take the low road behind the house (Cotton's Lane), cross to the other side of the old ford at the end of the road and head up the footpath towards the farm. You need to duck under a vehicle barrier, but after that there is a well signposted footpath into the countryside. The trail goes through fields of cows, but don't worry they're very tame!

Starting at the pretty village of Salford, the walk takes you along the valley, then up towards the mysterious Rollright Stones. This collection of three Bronze Age stone circles has a fascinating history; legend has it a King and his men were turned to stone by a witch, resulting in the Rollright Stones. Once you’ve explored the stones, follow the walk down through the charming hamlet of Little Rollright, back towards Salford and go for a well-earned drink at The Salford Inn.
