This second walk option is a lovely varied circular walk starting from the Brocton Coppice car park which takes you down into Sherbrook Valley woodland.

Circular

This final route is a longer, more varied and more strenuous version of the second walk option.

Instead of following the brook around when you are in Sherbrook Valley woodland, you cross the stepping stones and then climb back up the other side and over into Abraham's Valley.

There, you will enjoy more open countryside and woodland paths before crossing back over the brook and up through Coppice Hill to the car park.
