Overview

We will walk from the pub to Yew Tree Hill. At this point we will turn across Olivers Battery and walk back on Port Lane. Very little traffic uses this but both the track and the lane are useful for Autumn weather as the surfaces are mostly good. We will walk across a field but this path is well maintained.

The views from Yew Hill are good. There are only one or two stiles, but please bring walking sticks if you use them as there may be some mud.
