Overview

This is a scenic mostly dry, 7 mile, moderate walk through the reserve heading north to an avenue of beech trees. Across Bushy Road and along a quiet lane to the Yeo Valley way. This track is well maintained and covered with slate chippings. There is one short slippery section. Back along the lane to the reserve, entering by a different route. There is some surface mud shortly before the end. Poles advised. No stiles
