Overview

Walk up Gibbet Hill then through interesting villages of North and South Brentor. Some open moorland and paths across fields. Gradual climb up Gibbet Hill and ups and downs. Likely to be muddy and wet underfoot in places  

We’ll stop for coffee part way so you might want to bring a flask.

Book by text to walk leader.
