This route takes us through a variety of landscapes, including woodlands and field-edge paths. We’ll pass through Dunton Plotlands, Westley Heights, Lincewood Nature Reserve, and Langdon Hills Country Park.

The trails can be narrow and overgrown in places, so long trousers are recommended.

Please bring a packed lunch and some snacks for a picnic break along the way.

We’ll start and finish at Langdon Nature Discovery Park, which has a large car park and a visitor centre with toilets, a café, and a shop (open from 10am to 5pm). A £2 donation is expected for parking, payable inside the visitor centre.
