Overview

Starting from Caverswall & Cookshill Village Hall we will follow the lanes in the direction of Handley Banks, its then onto Ward Hill Farm and New Hill Farm before turning into Dilhorne Wood where we will pause for 11's at the railway platform. We then continue through the woods towards Dilhorne, along New Road for a short distance before picking up the footpaths back to Caverswall. 

This walk is over varied terrain with a total accent of 588ft over the walk, and includes country lanes, paths and tracks. There are about 20 stiles on route and given the time of year may be muddy in places.

If there are large number of people on the walk, we may split into 2 groups. With one group going clockwise and the other anti-clockwise along the described route, both meeting at the same point for 11's
