Overview

A beautiful Leisurely/Moderate circular walk in scenic countryside using  foothpaths and quiet country lanes. A part of the route follows the Monarchs way 

While most of the walk is relatively flat please be aware there are approximately  5 stiles and a couple of steep but shallow inclines which some walkers might find challenging. There are also a few man made steps up and down. Although we have cleared the path, it is summer and weeds grow quickly so shorts not advisable. Suitable walking shoes such as boots recommended.  The route can be muddy in places when wet. Part of the route also involves walking along side a brook so may require a diversion if heavy rain. 

We will have a short break, bring snacks and water.
