Start Point Near Sewage Treatment Works

Highlight • Other

My tip is......Don't start this walk from here. The original route on Komoot showed the start point as being at 'the bus station'. There isn't a bus station and there isn't any parking. This was the best, safest and nearest spot I could find. A small cut in outside the sewage treatment works 😳 I would recommend starting at Dorothy's Wood at the other end of this walk. There is a car park there that asks for donations rather than charging for parking. And it doesn't close until 9pm.
