Overview

The walk heads towards Oxley’s Green and from there Brightling. Lunch is at the church before returning via Twelve Oaks, Mansbrook, Coblye and Prinkle Woods.  

At the highest point there are fine views over the Darwell valley and towards the coast. There is also an awful lot of mud especially towards the end of the walk. Walking poles, if you have them, are advised. Thankfully there are only a few stiles.
