Overview

A six mile circular walk within the beautiful Idle Valley Nature Reserve that consists of 375 hectares of lakes, wetland, grassland and scrub.  The walk uses a designated bridleway that incorporates riverside and lakeside views.  There may be muddy patches in places if there has been a lot of rain.

On the planning visit all the gates could be opened and there was no need to climb any stiles.

Numbers limited to 25 so please book in advance by contacting the Leader using the email link.
