Walk Description:

Starting beside the Victoria Pub, this lovely walk takes us straight into the woodland, where we'll enjoy peaceful trails, beautiful trees and the sounds of nature.

The walk begins with an uphill climb, giving us a chance to get the heart and lungs working. As we gain height, the trees occasionally open up to reveal glimpses of the surrounding countryside.

Partway through, we'll join the Compton Walk before continuing through the woods. Once we've tackled the initial climb, the terrain becomes gentler, allowing us to settle into a comfortable pace, enjoy the birdsong and have a good chat along the way.

The walk takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a shorter woodland walk with a little hill work included.

There are some uneven paths, exposed roots and inclines that can become slippery after rain, so sturdy walking shoes or boots with good grip are recommended.

A lovely combination of woodland scenery, fresh air, gentle fitness challenges and friendly company. We'll enjoy the climbs at a manageable pace, making sure everyone has the opportunity to catch their breath and appreciate 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.
