January 17, 2021Lots of off road on this one - great if you like lots of sloppy mud this time of year lovely and peaceful but also a very well used trail so if you don’t want to be around other people, choose somewhere else
January 2, 2021parked at the village hall. muddy, but to be expected for the time of year. small amount of road walking, but very quiet no cars passed. some water accessible for dogs to take a dip. would be a lovely walk in warmer months
January 1, 2021Pretty walk along the river - only a small amount of road waking. Very muddy but passable in walking boots
December 29, 2020Muddy but tbf it is December. 10/10 would walk again
December 19, 2020Great views across rolling hills, lovely to walk along the river and through a garden . Waypoint descriptions very detailed!
December 8, 2020December 7, 2020Lovely and foggy and muddy!
December 1, 2020November 22, 2020Great variety - bit muddy but really great! I had a whale of a time. Great pooh sticks opportunities too!
November 22, 2020October 16, 2020Excellent walk, a little muddy in places, quiet lanes and rolling hills for views
July 18, 2020This was a really lovely and varied walk. I did only just read the reviews about the cows and I agree that I was a bit anxious walking across the field with my dog and meeting the large group in the centre. They did not seem too bothered despite the calves, and I just gave them a wide berth. I was with my parents though who have walked far and wide and were confident to deal with them with their walking sticks if necessary! There is also mention of an angry dog in the large garden you walk through, this is actually a good natured labrador, that even to us did look a little intimidating as we approached (especially with our anti-social dog) as he's a big boy, but is quite friendly, and is limited by an invisible fence so he won't come right up. I think my parents would mention the lack of benches on the way round, which didn't bother me but they are in their 70s!
June 28, 2020Done this walk twice since discovering it a few weeks ago. Beautiful wild flower borders on the edge of the fields, varied scenery, very enjoyable! And don't miss the painted stones in the church yard!
June 7, 2020Pleasant, calm and very enjoyable walk.
May 25, 2020Beautiful walk and pretty easy to follow the instructions. Highly recommended this walk!
May 19, 2020Lovely summer walk with shade and sun in equal parts. Bonus was the stream that kept the dog amused and cool.
May 9, 2020I’m not sure if 2 stars is fair however considering we were lucky to come away with our lives I think it’s the only rating I feel comfortable giving. CAUTION! There is a field you cross diagonally near the end of this walk with cows, aggressive cows. Do not go through this field at all with a dog, it’s a very large field and we didn’t see the cows until 3/4 the way through. The cows stampeded us, we had to disperse and let the dog off the lead to try and stop them. We ended up having to jump a fence at the side of the field into someone else’s property. It’s not worth the risk with a dog, find an alternative route around. The rest of the walk was nice, but with this dangerous stretch I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
May 9, 2020Nice scenery enhanced by lovely weather
May 4, 2020Lovely walk, fairly level with plenty of variety
April 27, 2020Really enjoyed this walk, especially the stretches along the river Enborne. Lots of wild garlic and bluebells. Only bit I didn’t enjoy was walking through a field of cattle with calves - a bit stressful! You may wish to divert round the edge of the field. The path then goes through someone’s garden where I was barked at by a rather angry dog.

First to ReviewStraight forward country trail, fairly level. Quite muddy in places at this time of the year, take your wellies. We were able to let the dog off the lead most of the way round.
