Overview

A lovely walk through the Forest with, hopefully, some autumn colour taking in the villages of Parkend, Whitecroft and Pillowell. If it's a nice day we may be lucky enough to see the Dean Forest Railway engine trundling past or, at least, hear it. Terrain is generally good with the likelihood of mud in a couple of places. 

 

Don't forget clocks go back this weekend.
