Overview

The circular route follows quiet country lanes, woodland tracks and fields with a small number of stiles. Walking poles are recommended as some sections of the walk may be slippy and muddy.

The walk route may be adapted in the week prior to the walk to accommodate any changes required due to the weather. Please check the walk detail on the website by Friday 2 January 2026 in case any changes have been made following the final recce.

Walkers should bring food and drink for two breaks on the walk.
