Forest Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

New path created by the land owner (the road has been gated off) winds through the trees. Soup and wood chip surface ( 27/3/22) I imagine it will be a muddy quagmire in winter if better surfacing isn’t laid.

Highlight • Historical Site

Keep an eye out as sometimes the gate at the bottom is closed. Be ready to brake hard.

Wouldn't recommend trying to cross. Looks bumpy 😳and unsafe. Sure there should be a locked gate, but missing.
