Due to the current heatwave this walk has been shortened to avoid the afternoon heat. PLEASE NOTE THE EARLIER START TIME, 09.00. We will be exploring the attractive and varied landscapes around Downton and Hale Purlieu. From Downton we pass through the pleasure gardens of Moot House, a long riverside path and the AVP lead us eventually to Hale. Then we cross the open heath of Hale Purlieu and make our way home via Bohemia, Tinney's Fir and Woodfalls. Easy walking in general, but there are a few short, but steep climbs. Also 3 stiles. Remember at the end to check for ticks! Map: EX130 & OL22.
Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Patricia D 07552865681) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com. Coffee stop, optional ice-cream stop, choice of picnic lunch at end (Moot Gardens) or miss picnic and drive home directly.
