Overview

We walk through the woods from Bailey Lane End towards Dancing Green, then descend into Hope Mansell village for a garden break. Then up over Bailey Brook to walk along the edge of the wood, by the brook, and back through the wood.

A mix of terrain, from roads to narrow woodland paths, some of which may turn muddy if late May is rainy. Three stiles, and a few fairly steep but short ascents and descents.
