Overview

A walk beside the River Greta along the beautiful Brignall Banks. Some of the terrain is uneven and there is water to cross and stepping stones.  Walking poles are highly recommended due to the terrain.  Some ups and downs but no major hills. Drinks at The Merritt Arms at the end of the walk. This walk is not suitable for dogs.
