First-hand experiences
A beautiful and peaceful walk. My friend and i walked my dog and it was just the right legnth for us.
Fine for a nice December walk. Muddy, walking boots were fine though. Paths easy to follow. Very little signal. Lovely forest views. Passed a little bird watching hut which could be nice for anyone into that sort of thing.
Can be tricky to park!
Route very easy to follow but not particulary varied. Saw deer and lots of birds. Walked past two eye sores a solar farm which made droning noise ten minutes and land fill site. Uphill at end!
A lovely shady walk through the woods. Great for deer spotting!
Lovely circular walk. The car park for the walk was very small. Although we parked ok, when we got back to the car people squeeze in anywhere. Make sure you cant be blocked in when you park up.
Very enjoyable. You can wear street shoes and shorts during summer.
Nice walk through RSPB woodland. Saw lots of deer.
