Overview

From the car park, we will ascend Bickerton Hill before passing through Bickerton and heading towards Buckley Hill Wood. We will then climb Rawhead and continue through the villages of Harkhill and Brown Knowl. The route returns to the car park after ascending Larkton Hill. On a clear day, there are potentially stunning views from the hilltops.
