| Other notes | While this is a relatively short walk for a Sunday morning I’ve selected it as, hopefully, it is mostly on paths, tracks and lanes which should be fairly dry.
Being close to Christmas it is difficult to book tables in the restaurants in the area so I’ve indicated the two places above as options where we may be able to get into on the day. |
