Overview

This walk takes us through woods, across fields, along a canal tow path and a short stretch on the verge of a busy road. We will walk through a residential area for a short distance at the start of the walk. Parts of the walk are on undulating terrain, with some short mildly steep ascents and descents. There are quite a few stiles (approximately 10) and kissing gates to negotiate.
