Overview

A circular walk along country roads, farm tracks and across fields.

We’ll follow a riverside walk to a nature reserve and the castle.

Stiles: There are several stiles.

Toilets: None along the route but some at the castle.

Terrain:

Varied but expect mud, so gaiters recommended.
A couple of steady climbs (total gain in altitude of over 400m).
DOGS - There’s a possibility of livestock with young lambs so dogs must remain on short leads.

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to a local hostelry.
