Overview

Starting in Pickburn, climbing gently up Lound Hill, before circumventing Hampole Wood and returning back towards Brodsworth and finishing in Pickburn. There are no stiles, and mostly good surfaces except for one section across a muddy field.  There is a lot of live stock and wildlife, so if you bring a dog, it must be kept on a short lead at all times.
