Difficulty:

Moderate

Terrain:

Terrain: A beautiful circular walk, blending village exploration with invigorating countryside paths. The terrain is a mix of paved village pavements, quiet country lanes, and natural grassy or earth field paths. The walk involves moderate undulations and some noticeable climbs as you venture out of the valley and onto the surrounding hillsides. Expect field paths to be muddy and prone to puddles, especially after rain or in wetter seasons. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are recommended, and waterproof hiking boots are advisable.

Accessibility: Due to the slopes, uneven field paths, potential for mud, and likely presence of stiles, this walk is generally not suitable for those with significant mobility issues or standard pushchairs beyond the immediate village pavements.
