Full Walk Details

The pub is perfectly placed for excellent walks without stiles or livestock.  I've shortened a 5 mile circular walk to a 2 mile linear walk to keep the directions really easy.  No-one likes getting lost when you're just giving the dog a leg stretch!  Walk down Cadley Lane, the one with the no through road sign, for just over a mile. You'll reach another track, and there's an equestrian centre/livery down on the left.  Turn round here and retrace your steps for a 40 minute walk.

If you dog is in the mood for more walkies, turn right on the track and then turn right again on a bridleway. This will take you into the centre of Collingbourne Wood.  With a GPS it's a straightforward route back;  without a GPS it's very easy to get lost.  The tracks are wide and clear, but will get muddy in wet weather.
