    A nicely sheltered route if it's a hot day, with a lot of the walk under the trees. I've included a section along the canal as it's beautiful along this section! I found most of the walk beautiful actually!

    Most of the route is off road and there are two places of interest from the bronze age to look for, the linear bank and ditch (https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1011602) and the disc barrow (https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1011599) both part of Whitmoor common. I've added a marker for these places - I'm good like that. Good luck with the barrow as it wasn't easy to locate at the end of May but maybe more obvious in winter?!

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
