Overview

This is a varied walk including lakes, Simons Wood and the Blackwater River. There will be some ascents and descents and there is some road walking, but no stiles. Also, there may be some mud to contend with, but we will be treated to good wide views and there will be plenty of bird life at Moor Green Lakes.
