Church of St John in the Wilderness Walk

Information

Distance: 2.36km, ↗: 110m, ↘: 110m

The distance above is for the walk to the church and back to the starting point.

This walk starts in the main square (shown as ‘McLeod Square’ on the map) and follows the optimistically classified ‘trunk’ road until you reach the church of St John in the Wilderness (I notice the OpenStreetMap contributor has upgraded the church to a cathedral). The trail on the map wanders a little, but you should stay on the road.

The church is interesting and the adjoining cemetery contains the grave of the 8th Earl of Elgin whose father acquired the Elgin Marbles.

Honestly, I don’t think you need a map or GPS to find your way here, but I have the data, so here it is.
