Walk Description
From the visitor centre head south towards the ponds.
At the second pond a concrete incline climbs to the cycle path.
Turn right and follow to the village hall.
Go straight over the road and follow the straight path that was once a railway track.
Cross the modern bridge over the river and continue up the valley on the right fork past the reed beds onto a forestry track.
After a hairpin bend take the right fork at the junction and continue uphill.
Watch carefully to the left for a large outcrop of distinctive layered rock.
Shortly after this rock descend the narrow cycle path on the right.
Cross a stone bridge over two modern pipes and follow the forestry path until it emerges on the hill above the valley.
Follow the hillside path back into the forest.
Turn left when the path drops onto another track.
Continue out into a wide open area surrounded by forestry. Follow the path as it bears left.
On reaching the broad forest track, turn left and follow it, ignoring the track that joins from the right.
At a cross roads turn left and downhill, passing that rocky outcrop and cycle path you used earlier.
At the junction of the forestry paths, turn left and retrace your steps to the river bridge.
Do not cross the bridge, instead continue down to the village.
Bear right, past the converted chapel, into Commercial Street and cross the river at Bridge Street, heading back to the village hall.
Turn left to rejoin the cycle path and retrace your steps back to the ponds and the visitor centre.
