Overview

This is a more challenging walk due to the inclines with some lovely views from Beacon and Bilberry Hill. There are 3 inclines and we will rest at the top of all 3. There is a toilet stop at the Visitors Centre. Some of the walk is through woods which will provide shade if the weather is hot. There are no stiles. Walking pole(s) are recommended. Look forward to seeing you there.
