Know this area well, took 1h 45 with 2 young children 5&8. Didn’t feel route marched, all chatted happily and enjoyed the amble, getting out on a very wet but lush and green day!

I really enjoyed this walk - varied countryside to walk through & good paths in the main. I am doing this walk with a group in Sept as walk leader so I am looking forward to seeing what they think of it.
Suitable for most & my group vary in age & mobility - good facilities at the start & finish point too.
