Overview

We start by heading south and then east past Cuckoo Farm to Horn Mill.  From, there we turn north to Fort Henry lakes where we head west to Tunneley Wood before joining the Viking Way back to Exton.

The walk is relatively flat. There is no mud to speak of and only one stile.  However, we do encounter some very long grass so gaiters etc might be advisable if we have had recent rain.
