Teasels alongside a farm walk path

Farm Walk


The Rustical Farm Walk is a beautiful series of mown paths through our productive wood coppice and grassland which is rich in diverse wildlife.

Suitable for a gentle walk to get away from the hustle and bustle of the day, gather your thoughts or take some exercise with or without the dog.

The grass can be wet and muddy after heavy rainfall so suitable footwear is required. It is a working farm with lots of trip and slip hazards and there are ponds and ditches to fall in to if caution is not observed so please understand that you enter the site entirely at your own risk.

Accessibility

In dry weather, the majority of the paths are fully accessible but there are some steep hills involved on certain routes. In wet weather these grass paths can be slippy and there are patches that can get quite spongy and muddy. After prolonged rain we do close off some paths to prevent excessive damage. We are hoping to be able to offer all weather disabled access to some parts of the site very soon.

Dogs

IMPORTANT – Recently flea treated dogs MUST NOT be brought on site as even the slightest contamination from the powerful pesticides can have a devastating impact on aquatic ecosystems and can easily kill off all the insect life within a pond and we really don’t want that. 

Well behaved dogs are welcomed to share your walk and can be off lead to allow them to get some good exercise exploring the undergrowth but there are ditches and ponds so expect a wet, muddy dog. The site is stock fenced.

Respect for other walkers with or without dogs is essential and expected.
