Difficulty:

This classic & popular walk has become problematic as certain paths during the summer become impassable.

One option is to follow the ‘Blue’ diversion route shown on the map. Please note that it includes a section of the B3227 (0.5 miles) , which can be quite busy at times.

Expect muddy stretches after heavy rain.
