Overview

You can see the famous pine trees that were planted in 1887 to commemorate the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria on May Hill from afar, so why not join me on a circular walk, through woodland and then up to the summit of May Hill.

Walk will be on tracks and small uneven paths. Due to the time of year, part of the walk could be muddy with wet grass.
