Overview

From the RSPB car park we will walk towards the village of Cliffe where the circular route begins.  We then head towards Cooling Castle, home of Jools Holland.  Shortly after we will be stopping for a break at a playground/picnic spot with public toilets. After the refreshment break we head off towards Mount Pleasant before starting to head back to Cliffe passing several farms along the way. Once back at Cliffe village there will be an opportunity to use the public toilets by the church before we make our way back to the car park. Finishing time approximately 13:30 to 14:00 pm.

Meet at RSPB Car Park, Salt Lane, Cliffe. No nearby Post Code. What 3 words //packet.wiring.transfers. The RSPB car park is located by the gravel works in Salt Lane. Follow the road until you come to a sharp right hand bend with a small roundabout. Follow the road to the right then the entrance to the car park is immediately on your left. Please note that there is a fairly lengthy road from the car park entrance to the actual car park itself. There are no toilets at the car park but we will be passing two sets of public toilets on route.
