Overview

This is a 12 mile undulating circular walk over hard gravel and grass tracks that starts and finishes in Linwood at the Broomy Walk car park. It is a good all year round route involving a mix of woodland and open countryside where there are some lovely views over the surrounding area. The walk will take us through four inclosures, over Splash Bridge, and alongside Latchmoor Brook. There are no stiles only gates.
