Overview

After a walk around the Iron Age fort, we will take some of the quiet lanes, tracks and fields surrounding Gentleshaw village. We then go around Gentleshaw Hill, returning to our starting point via Gentleshaw itself.

There are two stiles and there are a couple of slightly muddy sections. We will stop for a short break during the walk, so please bring your own refreshments.

Please join us for a drink after the walk. The Park Gate Inn by the car park may be open; otherwise The Rag is just a three minute drive away.

Please let the leader know if you intend to join this walk.
