With the clocks changing, giving us an extra hour of light, evening walks are now back on the cards. A leisurely evening walk along a mixture of quiet lanes and open fields. Views of the surrounding hills and The Cage feature throughout. Although most of the walk is along good paths, the fields could be muddy after wet weather, so hiking boots are recommended. Ending the walk at dusk, it would be a good idea to bring a headtorch.
