A gentle, easy walk on forest ground that may be muddy after rain. The path is short and relatively open underfoot with minimal incline. Expect to pass through or alongside woodland; waymarking should be clear for a footpath of this length. You may encounter free-roaming ponies, cattle or donkeys grazing nearby.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
Dogs are welcome on open access, but keep them under control near grazing livestock and avoid the area during March to July when ground-nesting birds may be present. Wear appropriate footwear for soft, potentially damp forest ground. There is no charge for access.
