Overview

This is a moderate walk over forest paths, farm tracks, and unmade rights of way across farmland, which may be uneven or muddy in places.

Starting from the Affpuddle forest car park, we first walk over to Affpuddle, then make our way to Moreton for lunch. In Moreton, we visit St.Nicholas church and the grave of Lawrence of Arabia. After lunch we walk via Clouds Hill to Turners Puddle. Finally we return to the cars via Briantspuddle and Culpeppers Dish.

Expect the usual 4050 reasonably brisk pace.

All walkers are responsible for their own health and fitness to undertake this walk

Bring drinks, snacks and a packed lunch to keep you going.

Possible use of toilets at Moreton, otherwise plenty of quiet forest.

No dogs except RAD.

A small number of styles.
