What to expect
Easy, flat walking underfoot across open access heathland and grass. The path is straightforward with no significant gradients or steep sections. You may encounter free-roaming ponies, cattle or donkeys grazing the open land, so keep dogs under close control. The route is short enough to be completed in wellies or casual footwear, though sturdy shoes remain advisable after wet weather.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
Dogs are permitted on this open access route but must be kept under control near grazing livestock and during the nesting season (March to July) when ground-nesting birds may be present. There is no charge for access. The path can be muddy after rain, so appropriate footwear is recommended.
