Terrain:

Terrain: This walk is challenging in places and offers a truly wild woodland experience. Paths are primarily natural earth and stone, often uneven, rocky, and with exposed tree roots. There are significant ascents and descents, particularly if you venture away from the immediate riverside. Expect very muddy and slippery sections, especially after rain, or during autumn/winter. Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots with good grip are essential.

Accessibility: Due to the steep, uneven, and often muddy terrain, this walk is not suitable for those with mobility issues, pushchairs, or wheelchairs. It requires a good level of fitness and sure-footedness.

Facilities:
Toilets, Pub Nearby
