Overview

From the CP the walk first heads west through Hannington village and then into open countryside where there are long views to the west and south provided visibility is good. Turning south the walk passes through North Oakley, Freemantle farm, White lane and Warren copse before returning to Hannington. Expect bluebells in Warren copse.

The walk, level to start before a gentle descent to White lane. A relatively gentle ascent through Warren copse returns the walk to the start. Conditions under foot dependent on rainfall on previous days.

No toilets unfortunately.
