Walk Overview: Uncover the past and find out more about the rich history of the area on this moderate circular walk. It is important that you wear appropriate footwear and warm waterproof clothing as some sections of the walk can be muddy and the weather can change very quickly. In poor weather the route can be encased in cloud. We suggest you take some food and a drink with you as well.

Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times. You may encounter some farm animals and farm traffic on your route. There are litter bins at the top and bottom of the village – please put any rubbish in there (including from your dogs).
