This is a circular route taking in three villages and the route can be adjusted to have the start/finish at any one of them. The suggested route has a nice pub for a tasty half-way treat.

This is a gentle walk which is very dog-friendly, using bridleways, very minor roads and permissive paths. It is relatively flat and easy going so an ideal afternoon walk that won't be too taxing.
