Overview

This is a short walk prior to the Christmas lunch at the Adamson Hotel. We walk from the centre of Crossford, using core paths by field edges, uphill to the Dean forest area. We continue on woodland tracks, some narrow and possibly muddy, with a short section by the side of a country road, to Knockhouse Farm. The walk returns downhill to Crossford on good farm tracks.
