First-hand experiences
Overgrown in places...Quite flat walk with a steep hill to climb on the way to the pub...Not many scenic views...Nice pub garden...Pathways can be narrow...Will be muddy in the winter ...
Very overgrown in parts
Lovely walk. Gate that would not open near beginning due to a spring issue but easy to climb over. One wet section when we had no rain but manageable to pass.
Gorgeous walk with dog on lead. Some beautiful scenes alongside old canal/streams. Some climbs but not too arduous, and a variety of views, open farmland, woodland and valley streams. Very enjoyable. Took us about 1.5 hours at a leisurely pace.
Completed the walk with a 4, 5, and 8 year old. All enjoyed the walk. Pub fantastic. Easy to follow map. We are looking forward to our next adventure! The only negative we had was the amount of dog poo not picked up
Really enjoyed this walk. One steepish hill at the end walking past the pub. Other than that was an easy walk and map was spot on. At the end we walked along the quiet road to get back to the car rather than following the map.
Enjoyed this walk with the dog! A couple of wrong turns but quickly identified and easily turned back. Will be muddy on a wet day. Some horse and sheep minding their own business and we had to walk past them (dog on lead!) The paths are a little overgrown but passable with care. At hill at the end I would re-join the original path instead of keeping left as its difficult terrain.
Extremely boggy when wet!
Was hoping for a walk by rivers and a canal but sadly now all dried up and over grown. Frampton pretty viallage though and pub had great food.
The first section is not clearly identified by footpath signs, when going clockwise from the start. As you go up the track you need to bare right through the gate.
When you begin the walk where it splits to the circular the path to the right along the wood edge is not visible due to undergrowth better to take the small track to the right a little further down. Nice walk a few climbs but nothing substantial. One style a little awkward.
