Overview

A varied walk with views, through woodland and along Habberley Brook, around (but without an ascent of) Earls Hill and Pontesford Hill. The terrain is undulating and often uneven underfoot, mainly along paths and tracks. One longer steeper section and one stile, muddy areas, poles useful. Expect early spring flowers and nature notes.
