Overview

Starting at Penn Street, we walk to Winchmore Hill, Penn Bottom, through Common Wood and Penn Wood and back to the Hit or Miss PH at Penn Street. We will see attractive villages, rolling grassland and well-managed woodland. Paths are generally well-maintained but we can expect puddles and mud particularly in Penn Wood. No stiles.

Lunch at the "Hit or Miss" in Penn Street. Please try and arrive by 9.45 so that we can pre-order from the menu.
