If you've got more time and energy on your hands, this second option is a longer walk that still enjoys the beauty and tranquility of Lord's Piece, but it also heads off south for a countryside and woodland adventure.

This second route will also visit the village of Sutton, where there is a nice country pub if you want refreshments half way around your walk.

Fantastic walk

Walker review

I didn't enjoy this hugely as some areas of the paths are now completely overgrown (think head high weeds and bramble). Navigation was also a bit tricky at times with lots of paths and it wasn't obvious which route to take. Wear long sleeve/trousers and boots !

Walker review

Beautiful walk, longer than stated - measured it at 5.7miles, but very easy walking. The White Horse Inn in Sutton was a lovey half way pitstop. Not a wak for a rainy windy day as some sections were quite exposed but on a sunny warm day it was perfect!
