Overview

Starting at Elmore Pond car park, we pass the old water pump and drop down to Shabden Park. Through the park to the southern end of Long Plantation before we turn south towards Gatton Park. Through Upper Gatton Wood, then Coldroast Shaw, working up to St. Margaret's church in Hooley and finally back up to finish at Elmore Pond. A reasonably challenging, very undulating walk with 9 stiles. May be very muddy if it has been raining - hiking sticks highly recommended. No rest rooms or refreshments (bring your own)
