Overview

9 miles crossing the Hucking estate, along the NDW, Smokes Wood, a nature reserve and Hazel Street. Minimum road walking and a variety of views. Park at the pub car park or the adjacent field. (The owners would appreciate it if car owners pop in for a drink after the walk.) If you would like a Sunday lunch then please let me know asap. I have a table booked for 6 people at 14:00. It is possible to book a bigger table but they obviously need to know numbers. Assistance dogs only.
