Overview

We start at the entrance to Radford park.  We walk up Gower Ridge to Burrow hill and weather permitting there will be amazing 360 degree views.  We then progress to Radford woods nature reserve where there could be bluebells to admire.  We continue through the woods to Staddiscombe and back downhill to the site of the old Radford House demolished in 1937.  We then cross the road and walk through the park back to the Gatehouse at the Park entrance.

This is meant to be a leisurely experience so we will be happy to wait at the top of any hills for everyone to re-group.

Afterwards I propose we meet at the Kings Arms pub in Oreston for a well deserved beverage.
