Why it's Wildland
5.0A short rural circuit that starts at Little Foxes Copse and passes through a relatively young woodland patch, mature wood and farmland, with rocky banks and a stepping-stone stream crossing along the way.
This is a modest countryside walk rather than a major destination, but its mix of woodland and farmland, rocky banks and stream crossing gives the 1.9-mile circuit more variety than a simple woodland wander. Some sections are steep, and the crossing may not suit everyone.
