Geo-Trips :: The inner Peef (a)
Petersfield
A walk from King Billy's statue, Sat, 12 Mar 2022 by Basher Eyre
This walk is the opposite to Peefy Blinders Link Starting at The Square, I gradually wound out via St Peter's Road, Sheep Street and Swan Street. The next ring took me to Charles Street, Chapel Street and Hylton Road. Then to the path from Tesco's to Alderfield; Borough Hill to King George Avenue; and finally North Road to Tilmore Gardens.
