Overview

It’s a Bank Holiday so why not join me on this walk which is drenched in military history from several different eras. I will explain all on the actual walk. The walk is on open heath, field and woodland paths with two short sections on quiet lanes with just a few stiles.

No booking required.

Map OL3.

Please bring refreshments and lunch for 2 breaks en route.

Assistance dogs only please.
