Overview

Second in the Beat the Heat series of early morning August walks.

From the car park we will take the scenic route North to the Coombe Hill Boer War Monument, then turn NEE to Bacombe Hill and the Tumulus. We'll cross a field to Bacombe Lane, then footpaths to Dunsmore before stopping at Buckmoorend Farm Shop's outdoor cafe.

We then return uphill on the Ridgeway Path back to the car park.

Well behaved dogs are allowed.
