Good paths but slightly muddy in parts (understandable in feb) good view over forest. Much quieter than other tracks. Kids enjoyed the park at the end

A good walk - a variety of paths;woodland, forest roads & tracks. Some steep sections but decent surfaces. Less busy than the walks near the visitor centre. Look out for the reward nr the end - wild strawberries & raspberries
