Overview

Today we have a 5-mile and 10-mile walk starting from Berwick St James. The walks start together and head up to Druid's Head Wood where we separate. The shorter option turns right at Druid's Head Wood, then south towards Stapleford, ascends to the Downs above Stapleford Castle before returning to Berwick St James. Map: EX 130/157.

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader ( Peter S 07833601216)  or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

If you would like to car share, please let the walk leader know when you book and we will hopefully be able to facilitate this.

Assistance dogs only
