Walker review

Straightforward walk; lovely views. I went with my baby daughter in a buggy. We coped fine, even in the mildly muddy areas, but we do have a buggy with quite chunky wheels. There are a few gates to be aware of, and the road that you park alongside has very fast traffic. There is a charge to access the stones sites (£1 for adults, 50p for children) that goes towards the upkeep of the area. You can pay this online, or in cash via an honesty box.
