Walker review

Lovely little walk, only took us an hour. Lots of little kissing gates so wouldnt be great with wheelchairs or buggies. Pretty muddy in parts as of March 2025, but in wellies it was perfectly do-able. Overall, lovely short stroll to get out the house.

Walker review

A field towards the end (if walked clockwise) had a rope fence, you can take a detour via the road if needed. After rain, take wellies. Nice little walk.

Walker review

Part of the walk (the loop by the brook) was temporarily closed off for OCC path maintenance. We found a way through a public field. One footpath by a farm has an electric fence across it (to keep a horse in) but the farmer said it was fine to go under and carry on.
