First-hand experiences
I say stiles but more gates. Not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs unless properly adapted due to the hills at the start/finish.
Lovely walk...challenge to take it anticlockwise but well worth it!
Walked this a few tomes with our dog. Lots to look at and a very steep hill at the beginning/end. Lovely walk though.
Thoroughly enjoyed this walk, as did doggo - mostly off lead, bit there were a couple of roads and cow fields. We did it on August bank holiday Sunday and it wasnt too busy. We had Sunday lunch at the Cock Inn which was amazing and good value for money. ...Its our first time using the app and it worked a treat! We took a small detour to find the Mill House and got some unexpected blackberry picking as a reward. It was easy enough to navigate back to the route thanks to the GPS and the map!
Lovely walk, riverside views, very peaceful
First time using the app. Worked really well and we followed the route perfectly.
Loved this walk, lovely views and great for the dogs as they were mostly off lead. Will definitely do it again!
Really enjoyed this walk with our two children. Varied enough to keep them interested: woods, a ford, ponies, cows, alpacas, a big hill etc. A new favourite.
Absolutely loved this walk. Some of the views were breathtaking. Seeing the alpacas, red kited and cows was also lovely. Will definitely do it again.
Beautiful walk in our local area, that we didn’t know about!Just perfect for kids and dogs. Ponies, butterflies, woodpeckers and kites all spotted along the beautiful river chess. Take a picnic and a fishing net and stop at the Cock Inn on the way back. Perfect walk.
