Overview

Bulls Cross, Snows Farm Nature Reserve, Swifts Hill, Frith Wood. Woods, fields, nature reserves and a bit of lane walking. Some steep ups and downs so poles good if you use them. We should get some lovely views. We will skirt Slad Village so come armed with Laurie Lee quotes! Two pubs not far but not walkable. Woolpack in Slad (the parking is awful though) and Fostons Ash in other direction.

Local walk grade - moderate pace, terrain 3 quite hilly.

Additional Maps: L162/E179. For tinyurl map see website link.
