Overview

This is a hilly walk, at a moderate pace, through beautiful woodland and open fields.  The total ascent is 962ft with some steep climbs. The hills, of course, afford wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.  Part of our walk takes us through the Hughenden estate allowing a quick peek at the house itself.
