Overview

From the start point at the Wireworks car park in Tintern, we head up for a winter wander through tropical Barbadoes before heading on to Whitelye and Botany Bay before returning to our start point.

Generally good forest paths but may be muddy in places given the time of year. The walk involves a reasonable amount of climbing uphill.
