Overview

With its quiet woodland paths; open farmland and long stretch of shoreline this is a walk. with lots of variety  It incorporates much of the popular Lepe Loop path, details of which can be found at https://www.lepe.org.uk/public-access/the-lepe-loop

Walkers need to be aware of the c1.5 miles of shingle as we walk west from Lepe.  Walkers can, if they prefer, walk along the road that runs parallel with the route.

There is a small number of stiles but all are in good order and not difficult to negotiate.
