Overview

A walk from Clearbrook following the leat and then heading to Shaugh Bridge for a tea break. From there we’ll head through North Wood to Cadover Bridge and around on to Wigford Down where we’ll stop for lunch before heading back to Clearbrook.

About 8 miles and 1200ft of ascents. A steep incline out of Shaugh Bridge but otherwise not too challenging for a winter walk.
