Walker review
Great walk in the countryside. Hard with a pram due to exposed tree roots, bridges and gates to go through. Also not ideal with a pram as gets muddy but overall had a lovely walk and we will do it again
Walker review
Very short and easy walk. Well sign-posted and maintained route.
Walker review
Anti-clockwise: To cross the river follow the footpath through Croxtons Mill car park (sign says private but footpath goes through car park).
Walker review
Perfect little walk if you just have a small amount of time spare.
