Walker review
There was one section that had you crossing a plouged field, and so that had to be circumvented slightly. There is also a section towards the end that looks like the route takes you onto a private garden, but it is a right of way, it just does not look as though it is as you go through an open gated fence with a house and driveway on the property. The last wooded section has bluebells galore if you walk it late March, early April.
Walker review
As with other walks on the app it would be nice if the route had some points of interest marked on the route.
