Why choose this route? If you're looking for a slice of old England, this is it. Go back in time to villages lined with thatched cottages, trickling streams, grassy meadows and quintessentially British tea rooms and coffee shops. 

How busy is it? This is one of our busiest routes, but only when in the villages. The bits in between are relatively quiet and very, very picturesque. If you want a nice social walk, this is the one for you. 

Amenities? You're never far from a village on this route, so there are plenty of shops, pubs and cafes to stop in.

Where to walk
