Walker review

Pretty muddy in the northern half. Nice little walk

Walker review

First time I had used the app and found it really easy to follow, albeit a few written instructions at the beginning and end would be helpful. Only uphill section was at very end, but that probably depends which way round you follow the route!

Walker review

Pub half way has outside bar and very friendly staff

Walker review

Lovely walk through woods snd open countryside. Can be very muddy when wet. Two crossings of busy road.
