Overview

This walk will go from the Jubilee car park through Westover Farm and Shalfleet to Newtown. When it gets here it turns east past Clamerkin before turning south, going through Three Gates Farm and up to Swainston, where we will have lunch, and then climbing into Brighstone Forest and returning to the car park. It's a good walk!

You should bring a picnic lunch.
