Overview

An undulating walk with one steep ascent which will take us through the bluebell fields in Simons Wood before walking around the Three Horseshoe lakes and Simons Wood. No stiles, some pavement walking and 2 busy roads to cross. Cafe and toilet at half way point.

Hopefully the Bluebells in Simons Wood will be in full bloom when we do this walk.
