Overview

This is mainly a woodland walk that takes in some remote parts of the Harewood Forest while still offering distant views especially from the top of Red Hill. The paths are good but in places quite overgrown and so long trousers are recommended to avoid stings and scratches. There are no stiles but expect some rising ground, two flights of steps and one hill. Bring a packed lunch, which will be eaten along the way. Please advise the walk leader if you plan to come on this walk.
