Walker review

Cows in field by church, so had to join the footpath further up. Very limited parking at weekends and narrow roads. Do not recommend this walk when wet.

Walker review

Great walking route. However, there were cow pats in every field we walked in. The cows were in a field that we didn't need to enter. The second bridge on the route can get busy in nice weather because of those wanting to splash in the river.

Walker review

Beautiful stroll by the Bybrook.
