Whilst walking is the most natural and fundamental of all human movements, by adding 'power' to the walk by the use of arms and an increase from the usual ambling walk, this use of the all the muscles in your body creates a dynamic aerobic activity that helps towards achieving optimum well being and fitness. We walk in loose comfortable clothing and trainers rather than walking boots. 

Parking is free and there is a toilet and a cafe for coffee at the end. Wear loose comfortable clothes with trainers rather than walking shoes. We walk whatever the weather so come prepared for rain if needed.
