Mostly following ancient Roman routes, the trail has the characteristic straight trajectory that’s associated with this era.
The Peddars Way is for you if you love wildlife, history and the great British Countryside, which it has all three in spades. Explore ancient castles and ruins, look out for wildlife among glacial wetlands and coastal marshes and enjoy the expansive arable landscape that’s so typical of this county.

In season, there is a visitor welcome and cafe van in the car park every Wed-Sun plus bank holidays 10am-4pm.

Wortham Ling
Highlight • Forest
Keep an eye out for the heath’s resident wildlife, from its green woodpeckers and large rabbit population to the secretive adder which can sometimes be seen sunbathing in a coil. Yellow hammers also forage here and the plantlife, from lichens to sorrel, is just as varied.
