Tuddenham Fountains
The Walk Is Across Fields With A Stream Running Beside It. If You Go Through The Fields You Come To A Big Pool Of Water For Swimming And Playing. The Walk Extends Further And Will Circle Round Back To The Main Road At Tuddenham Depending Which Route You Take. Sometimes There Are Sheep In The Field So You Will Need To Take A Lead With You.

Milton Country Park Is A Popular Place For Dog Walkers. There Are Signs To Say Where Dogs Must Be Kept On Lead But There Also Areas Where Dogs Can Run Free.
