Overview

A circular walk from the Secret Hills Centre. We will walk up through Halford Woods for some good views before descending to Lower Dinchope, then another climb up to Flounders Folly, which should be open to view for a small donation. WE then descend from the ridge and head down through some woods to Strefford, The path here is going to be muddy, so walking poles advised. Turning back along the Quinny Brook and through Halford village to enjoy a cuppa and cake at the Secret Hills Centre.
