A countryside walk with not too much elevation gain, ideal for stretching your legs in any season, but which can also be done in winter.You’re unlikely to come across many people, apart from a few rabbits hopping about (in the distance) in the middle of the fields: it’s much easier to spot them on the snow than when they blend into the ground or hide amongst the vegetation.
