Overview

Starting from the car park, this generally gently undulating walk meanders through Beaudesert Old Park, visiting most of the larger pools, including Silver’s Pool and Horsepasture Pools.  We then start the long, steady climb (about 1/3 mile) out of the valley, to walk around the impressive remains of the Iron Age Fort.

We will stop during the walk for a coffee/lunch break, so please bring your own refreshments.
