Overview

A fairly easy ramble from Wick to Doynton via the Golden Valley nature reserve - once the site of a world famous ochre processing factory.  It goes through the pretty village of Doynton, and passes close to Wick Court , a fine Jacobean grade 1 listed manor house. 

There is one steep climb (via steps) near the start of the walk, plus stiles, a plank bridge and kissing gates. Mainly country lanes and farmland.
