Central Areas)
Circular walk, starting from Barningham village green.
First part of walk uses country lanes, an old drover's road, and forestry
roads. Easy under foot.
There is then a modest climb up to Barningham Moor where it may help
to have your map and compass to hand.
The descent from the top of the Moor follows a boundary wall most of
the way. There is some boggy ground to manouevre past.
The walk is superb if the visibility is good, with some incredible
views to be had.
