Walk 1 Black Alder Wood (4.5 miles)
Difficulty:
This walk is at its best during a sunny day in summer when you can enjoy the profusion of buttercups,foxgloves and red campions.
After heavy rain,a short stretch of the bridlepath in the forest can be quite tricky but can be negotiated.
Although there is a steepish climb,the effort is rewarded by stunning views and total seclusion.
Along this walk you are able to locate numerous easy geocaches - see here for more information.
