Overview

A varied walk through woodland and rolling countryside with wonderful far reaching views. We start on the Monarch's Way, passing Stansted House, then head for West Marden (coffee stop) and Compton, where we will have a picnic lunch,  before returning through Stansted Forest. A mixture of footpaths, tracks and a little road walking.

There are 3 hills and one stile.
