A lovely walk. It’s a shame it’s so marshy. We couldn’t follow the exact route as marked because part of it was flooded. We had to cut across the woods to try and get back onto the path.

A lovely route, quite muddy in places, but we were lucky enough to spot a young fawn and its mother at the edge of the forest...

Some very muddy patches, but still passable.
The only slight drawback: the constant noise from the motorway, which is quite close by.

The path was marshy; we had to work out the route and managed to do so just as we were about to cross the stream.
At that point, the crossing was very difficult. We were on the verge of giving up: the stream was slippery and there was nowhere to hold on or grab hold of.
