Thank you Lesley for your comments as feedback like this is very valuable and is one of the reasons why this site is so important - personally I have tried many walks from books and found either the walks impassable or the pubs closed down. Giving a forum for pub walks to be reviewed and updated on line was the main reason I started this site. I have made a note of the problems on the listing and referred people to your comments. I happen to know the pub itself is excellent so am hoping that someone can send me an alternative walk.

The pub looked lovely-althoug we did not have the pleasure of eating there-mainly because the hour and half walk turned into a 3 hour nightmare. The walk itself was a nightmare! Trees completely blocking route, the most amount of stinging nettles/brambles to walk through. Got 3/4 of the route with blood sweat and tears only to have to turn round and go back! This route has obviously not been used for some time!!! The bit about "dont be alarmed by dogs barking" BE ALARMED!! be very alarmed. Very scarey indeed from local gypsy site! This is where we literally got stuck in thousands of stinging nettles with dogs going mad the other side of the hedge! Not an enjoyable walk by a long shot!
