Description
Super exhilarating dog walk country, with the bonus here of a site of a series of ancient castles - starting in the Bronze Age. Then extra fortifications added later by the Normans made it bigger, and then Henry 1st 'modernised' after that. Traces remain, and the view is spectacular.

Holiday walk
Once you arrive at the car park (watch the potholes) there is a clearing at the back with an info board. Follow this and take the route on the left to access the main walk. It had been raining a lot in the area recently so there were boggy spots in part. Paths are all fairly apparent and there are lots of choices you can make to make the walk longer. Once I came to a three way junction early in the walk I turned back on myself and eventually crossed the main road and directly opposite there was a gate to go into another wooded area. Lots to explore and would be nicer on a sunnier day!
