What to expect
A short, flat walk on asphalt with no gradient to speak of. The surface is well-maintained and easy underfoot. The route is straightforward to follow; waymarking should be clear. You may encounter grazing livestock on adjacent open access land, so keep dogs under control.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
This is a short stroll rather than a long outing. Dogs are allowed but must be kept under control near any grazing animals and away from ground-nesting birds (March to July). No facilities or charges. Ordinary walking shoes are sufficient.
