Wilstone activities


 A group of walkers If you like walking, Wilstone offers many good circular walks through varied terrain.
The reservoirs and canal towpaths are the most popular. Many paths to the north of the village just meander through green fields and into quiet lanes. A local would say go down by "duffeses" and through the "millopers". Try a Circular Walk and take a refreshment break or lunch at the Half Moon.
