Overview

A favourite walk of mine. Starting and ending at The Cock. & Rabbit in the Lee. The walk takes us through Kings Ash and then down to a stretch along the Ridgeway returning through Swan Bottom.

The walk has a couple of relatively kind hills and only 1 stile. Hopefully the mud may have dried a little but wear stout footwear if there's been rain.
