Full description:
This 3-mile evening walk starts outside the Costcutter supermarket on Ringinglow Road in Bents Green. We walk down Trap Lane, through the Common Lane Open Space, along Cottage Lane and then down the hill and through a field towards Forge Dam. We follow the path through the woods to Wire Mill Dam, then up the hill through Whiteley Woods and back to the starting point. A small part of the uphill through Whiteley Woods is steep but we’ll be going at an easy pace.
