About the trail
This trail includes a shorter option and an extension. A section along the old railway is included and is an enchanting walk through oak birch and hazel scrub. The extension wanders on beyond the railway through natural oak woodland with a plot of millennium oak trees at the furthest point, from where the trail loops back to join the railway line and back to the car park
