Overview

This is a genuinely beautiful (roughly figure of eight) walk directly from the Bickerton Poacher Car Park into National Trust hills along forested ridges with spectacular views throughout.

There are several steep paths through woodland to manage in the first half of the walk.

There are two short sections where we walk on B roads and cross a main road.
