Overview

Starting in Cardington we will head for Battle Stones on Willstone Hill. If the weather is clear there should be splendid views in most directions. From here our prime objective, the Caer Caradoc summit, is beautifully framed in the distance. More superb views should be available from the summit, weather permitting. We will return to Cardington via the Wilderness ridge line and Enchmarsh. 

Walking is mostly in open country across fields and along tracks. There are a few short sections of road walking. Some steep ascents and descents are involved so walking poles are advisable. There are also a few stiles to negotiate. There may be some muddy sections!
