What to expect
Flat to gently undulating ground underfoot, likely a mix of forest track, grass and possibly boggy patches after rain. The path is straightforward with minimal navigation challenge. You may encounter free-roaming ponies, cattle or donkeys on the open access land. Waymarking should be adequate for a short route of this type.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
No charge for access. Wear appropriate footwear for potentially wet or muddy ground. Keep dogs under control near livestock and avoid the area during nesting season (March to July) where ground-nesting birds may be present. The short distance makes this suitable for young children and those with limited mobility.
