Overview

Come and join us on this varied walk. We'll take you through the Cuckoos Nook and Dingles Nature Reserve, then along a section of canal. From here we will pass through pleasant residential streets and a fenced path to fields with open views, before passing through a Park Homes site and up on to Barr Beacon, from where there are wider views and a hilltop war memorial. We will then drop down and return to the start.

The walk follows woodland paths and boardwalks, a canal towpath, [pavements and field paths, with one moderate climb up to the Beacon. There are 2 stiles (1 if you are very slim).

After the walk refreshments can be obtained in the nearby Foley Arms.
