We walk to a beautiful woodland – a fine example of ‘temperate rain forest’. Here we take time to learn about this precious habitat and to study some of its amazing biodiversity, including luxuriant mats of globally rare mosses and lichens. The path runs beside a tumbling boulder-filled river which we cross at a footbridge to enjoy our picnic lunch on the moors before climbing a path up through the woods and out onto fine heathland to complete our circular walk.
The paths are rough and irregular in places, and slippery when wet so please wear walking boots or other well-treaded footwear. Come prepared for all weathers, with waterproof jacket, waterproof trousers, warm layers and sun hat. Bring a packed lunch.
