Cheviot Goats at Hadleigh

Overview

We leave the car park at the end of Brook Road (off High Road Benfleet). Walking towards Hadleigh Country Park. There will be a few ups and downs, which may be steep in places. It’s mainly a hilly wooded walk with excellent views. In view of the added difficulty I have made this a moderate walk.
