Overview

This is a varied walk with some lovely views if the weather is favourable.

From Murton, we will head towards Bishopston Valley.

We then skirt round the edge of the valley before picking up the route down to the coast path.  From there we go to Caswell via Brandy Cove. 

Our return to Murton will be via Bishop’s Wood.

  • There is likely to be mud, especially if weather has been wet.
  • There are three or four steepish flights of steps, both up and down (we’ll take them gently!).
