Overview

Please meet outside The Forest Retreat café for a circular walk past the River Thet flood meadows then down to the river, across farmland towards West Harling, then back through the forest, Since it's been a wet start to the year there will be some mud, but it's not sticky and you should get back with cleanish boots. The café will be open at the start and finish and toilets are available.
