Overview

A walk in the picturesque Nadder Valley.  Intriguing history seeped into a tranquil landscape of woods, lake, villages, and fields.  Some short steep climbs and several stiles. Most of the walk is on firm surface, but some sections may be muddy after rain. There is a section of woodland with a root strewn path.
