Overview

We start out walking through Trosley Park towards Harvel. Once we reach Harvel we will have the first of two stops at the Harvel House Farm Cafe where you can purchase a hot drink.  There are some very lovely public toilets. Once refreshed we shall head towards Whitehorse Wood where we will have our second stop for lunch/snack.  We will then descend down onto the Pilgrim's way trackway before the steep ascent back up into Great Wood and Trosley Country Park. We will finish at approximately 13:30 hrs.
