A short but very pleasant walk, suitable for everyone, with stunning scenery around every bend. The cows we came across made it quite clear that we were on their territory, but as we walked briskly through the herd without stopping, they let us pass – phew!

A pleasant walk – make sure you follow the directions carefully, as it’s easy to get lost among all the farm tracks and forest paths
