Overview

A walk that starts and finishes in the Woodland Trust Home Farm estate with a mixture of woods and open countryside. Mostly quiet, but you will hear when you are near the Gay Dogs Boarding Kennels. Yes, that really is its name.

See if you can spot the Victorian post box.

There is one very short section where nettles are a slight nuisance, so trousers and long sleeves are advised. It has a couple of easy stiles towards the end.
