Overview

We’ll be walking from Woolwell through some beautiful woodland, including Darklake Wood, Hatshill Wood and West Wood. Part of the walk will be alongside the River Plym. So a change from open moorland and an opportunity to explore an area that you might not be familiar with.
This information will be updated nearer the time so check again the day before the walk.

Bring a coffee for our mid-morning stop.

Please book by text to walk leader. Please do not email.
