Walk Description:

Starting beside the Victoria Pub, we’ll quickly leave the road behind and head into the peaceful woodland.

The walk begins with a steady climb to get the heart and lungs working. As we gain height, the trees occasionally open up to give us lovely glimpses across the surrounding countryside. Partway through the walk, our route links with the Compton Walk.

Once the initial climb is behind us, the terrain becomes gentler and we can enjoy the woodland, fresh air and varied birdlife.

Different walking speeds can be accommodated while keeping the group together.

Allow approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on the pace of the group and stops along the way.

Please wear sturdy footwear with good grip. Tree roots and some of the inclines can become slippery after rain.

A lovely woodland walk with a good climb to start, followed by gentler walking and plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings.

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
