Lovely little trail, plenty of water sources and some great views. Go north bound if you want to get the biggest climbs done early!

Lovely route. Mixture of woodland, open hills with lovely views, farmland. Even a big boulder deposited from Wales during the iceage! One field had a few cows and sheep in (just after leaving Clent). They looked at us but didn't come near. Several sections require dogs to be on lead. Several styles. There were two that would require a big dog to be lifted over. Our spaniel managed to squeeze between the horizontal panels of a few, and others he could get round. Once off the main hills, barely saw a soul. Footpaths good. Steep down coming out of Irongate Plantation towards Walton Hill Rd but you could stick to the main path rather than cut through the trees. Note that you can no longer go straight across Walton Hill Rd due to fencing. You need to follow the path left to Walton Hill car park then double back down the lane and rejoin the route into the field through a marked gate. It's only an extra few minutes. Well earned cuppa and cake at the cafe (outdoor seating). Disappointing selection of cakes (in packets, not fresh baked). Overall, really enjoyable walk.
