Starting at the public car park (Toilets), up School Lane - ///sideburns.jots.reshaping - in Newton Poppleford at 1000 hrs, we'll take a jaunt in the Otter Valley area around Tipton St John, taking in the bluebells of Core Hill Wood, the big views from Fire Beacon Hill and a mix of woodland - with Woodpecker's currently making their homes - farmland, heathland and river valley, where we'll hopefully see some lovely, Spring, hedgerow flowers.
We'll traverse footpaths and hedgerow lanes some of which will be steep and a bit washed out so, although a moderate route, a modicum of fitness, agility and balance wouldn't go amiss. ????
If you've not seen the bluebells out in Core Hill Woods, this would be a good time to get up there, as they'll likely be out and at their best a few weeks earlier than other parts of the country.
