This is one of our Slow Walks - just two miles in two hours. The path is hard surfaced but some of it is old cobbles and this time of year with wet leaves the paths could be slippery. Toilets and refreshments at the end. There is a busy road junction before we reach Mayfield Park. There are seats at Holt Town Metrolink about ¼ of the way along the route, but no other seats till we get to Mayfield Park.
