Overview

Blackhall Mill to Chopwell Woods   

An easy to moderate walk of 5 miles, beginning at Blackhall Mill then heading into Chopwell Woods, through Chopwell village before returning via Milkwellburn Wood. The ground is likely to be muddy in places unfortunately, what with all the rain we've had recently.  

 

Refreshment facilities are available at the Lintzford Garden Centre, which is a short drive away.
