The walk

Hunger Hill Walk

This is a short walk that packs a lot of punch in terms of lovely views and strenuous exercise in equal measures.

The walk starts on a quiet county lane and then soon heads into countryside, downhill and then uphill towards Walton Lees Farm. It then heads west through a long stretch of pretty countryside before rejoining the country lane you started on.

You then follow that lane east all the way back towards the starting point enjoying some wonderful views of the countryside that you have just been exploring.

The lane is quiet and there is plenty of verge space, but still obviously be careful and aware of any cars.
