Length: 6.25 miles.

Terrain: woodland, grassland, multi user tarmacked path.

We would advise good walking boots and poles for anyone concerned about their stability or gradients.

The paths we will take are clear and well-trodden, but there are some ups and down,  particularly around large trees.

Potential obstacles:  There are sections with tree roots and stumps to negotiate. 

There is one stile, two small gates, one bridge with steps up/ down. There is likely to be mud in parts

N.B. there are no toilets and few seats long the way. We will stop at the midway point by a hawthorn tree where there is bench and good views across the valley.
