This circular walk takes you deep into the woods, offering a proper stretch for the legs without any major climbs. You'll be on well-trodden paths and shaded tracks for most of the way, making it a good choice if you prefer the cover of trees to open fields. It's a moderate route, suitable for anyone who enjoys a decent walk, covering 15.9 km (9.9 miles) with no ascent to speak of, meaning you can expect to be out for around 3h 09m at a steady pace.
Around the halfway point, you'll reach the Route midpoint, which offers a decent enough spot to pause and take in the view. It's not a place to linger for a full lunch, more of a brief stop to catch your breath before continuing. The approach to this point is particularly pleasant, winding through some of the older sections of woodland, where the light filters down through the canopy in interesting ways.
The return leg mirrors the character of the first half, keeping you amongst the trees and away from roads. After a spell of rain, some of the tracks can get a bit muddy underfoot, so sturdy footwear is a good idea. This walk is a solid option if you're looking for a peaceful day out in the woods, a chance to clear your head with the rustle of leaves for company.
