Overview

May be muddy on top of the moor. One very short sharp descent - poles or a friendly hand may be helpful! One longish stony ascent, taken at your own pace and one tumbledown stone wall to clamber over!

As this is a shorter walk, arrive in time to have your coffee before departing at 11am.
