Elton itself is a pleasant enough little village lying along a ridge
which gives it excellent views over the valley towards the hills
beyond. It even boasts a church, chapel, community centre and
a pub although not once in the years I visited has it ever been
open!
However, it is as a starting point for many an enjoyable walk that I
visited so often. There are several routes you can take to
include one or more of the local landmarks including stone circles,
woods and the Limestone Way, not to mention the usual spectacular
scenery. |
