We had been through part of Clavering when we done the Arkesden walk but this walk actually started in Clavering and went out of the village a different way heading towards Rickling but you do not get that far. The History is almost the same as I put in the Arkesden walk except I have added a bit about the village. The start of the walk takes you up towards Moat Farm and as in the name it stands on a moated site on this walk you get some lovely views overlooking the village while descending back to the village.
