Overview

We leave the carpark and pick up the Coleridge Way which we follow past Webbers Post to near BrockWood from where we follow the Macmillan Way up to Dunkery Beacon. We then follow a path past Little and Great Rowbarrow. After a short road walk we pick up a lovely path through some combes to Webbers Post. We then drop down a narrow path with some zigzags and finally follow a level path back to the start. There are no stiles. Coffee and lunch stops
