The walk
Kington St Michael Walk
This is a simple little walk around the pretty village of Kington St Michael.
It's short in distance, but packs in a stroll around the Nymph Hay Woodland, a bit of countryside with nice views, a play area for the kids, a visit to a pretty church and a walk through the village itself with it's lovely village pub, making this a nice and enjoyable family walk.
It can be muddy after wet weather, so be prepared with appropriate footwear.

Walker review
Good short walk overall, the forest walk was fairly small maybe around 30mins, abit muddy but suitable for dogs. The walk on the way back to the car was nice, youll pass some sheep in a stable and you can go up a step fence past an allotment, we spoke to a local who confirmed you can walk this way. Saw geese, sheep, donkey and horses this route. Can walk this way with a dog but may need to lift them pass a couple fence. Overall good short walk.
Walker review
I really didn't enjoy this one. Mainly on paths around the village, little opportunity for dogs to be off lead. The styles were not dog friendly and the route difficult to follow. Oh, and it was muddy..
