A few steep ascents and descents at first but the hills then levelling out as you near Bude.
Boston to Abbotsbury via Macmillan Way

Walked in 17.5 days. Initially very flat but after Stamford a mixture of bucolic scenery and pretty villages but sadly, many with closed down pubs and shops! Footpaths not always easy to find. It was necessary to come off the route in some places to find accommodation. All in all, a pleasant and varied route (and very little walked as a complete route).

Always check the weather forecast and equip accordingly. Experienced hikers may enjoy the tranquility and stark beauty of the winter landscape.
