Great place for off lead walks!
Walk through the national trust land up to the memorial, relatively flat and easy to navigate paths.
As you approach the memorial if you take the left hand path there’s additional walking through woodland, this part is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs but it’s a lovely stroll to the monument.
