Trail Reviews
Awesome walk with hills, fields and some woodland - not much on roads and no main roads. Note - you can't park at the sustainability centre but there is a small area about 50 metres to the west of the entrance in front of 2 pipe segments blocking the entrance to a field.
Don't turn left at first stile after 3rd photo carry onto bottom of field otherwise you can't get out! Doh!
