Terrain:

Terrain: A beautiful and invigorating circular walk situated within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Paths are a mix of well-maintained gravel tracks, natural earth paths through woodlands, and grassy tracksacross open land. The terrain is undulating with moderate climbs and descents (total ascent 107m / 351ft), making for an engaging walk. Expect paths to be muddy and prone to puddles in places, particularly after rain or in wooded areas. Sturdy, comfortable, and waterproof hiking boots are essential for both you and your dog.

Accessibility: Due to the undulating terrain, numerous slopes, and natural/muddy paths, this walk is generally not suitable for those with significant mobility issues or standard pushchairs for the full loop. It requires a good level of fitness.
