Description
Description
Mostly footpaths. A very rural route which includes some less travelled paths through farmland and woodland, to Barn Wood, almost reaching Boswells on the Ridgeway Path on the edge of Wendover and back via Kings Ash and the two churches in The Lee. Few stiles. Some hills but nothing major.

This is a great opportunity to get away from the well travelled paths and into the heart of nature where lesser spotted wildlife tends to be found.
