Walk conditions

Paths are of varying width and consist of woodland undergrowth and a mix of compacted earth/stone that can become muddy after rain. There is one short hill of a gentle incline. The woodland sections of this walk are not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies, but the lime kiln is still accessible if approached from the road that leaves the woodland carpark.
