Overview

This is a circular walk taking in the mature woodland and lake on The Hirsel Country Estate.

We pass through the homestead, where there is a museum, craft centre and cafe. We then go along a  riverside path and quiet road. This takes us by a golf course before returning on a woodland path back to the car park.

Two stops for refreshments.

Walking boots and poles area advised as woodland paths can be very muddy at times.
