Warksburn


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)
The green trail crosses the footbridge close to the picnic area. This takes you on to a short loop, through some shady Norway Spruce and old Scots Pine. At the forest road intersection, watch out for the the waymarker posts to keep you on the right track. The trail then loops through the forest before bringing you back alongside the river.
