Review 6:  Walk No. 16; Date walked: 21.08.11; Review submitted by David Hoccom

Comments: We enjoyed the walk very much. Lovely scenery and chatted to a couple of the local residents. There is an amendment as the black garage has been painted white! It might be worth changing the detail to "alongside the garage next to the white house". The new owners told us that the house is called "The White House" so, hopefully, it will not change colour!

Thanks again for an enjoyable walk.

Comments: The walk was very enjoyable, thank you, although there is a need to update the description, please. We followed the direction of the footpath post by the two metal gates diagonally across the field to the stile as described. The path through the plantation finishes halfway in at some pheasant feeding drums. We persevered through a very overgrown section only to find the next stile no longer exists.

It would seem necessary to follow the right hand field edge from the two metal gates to a forestry track. Follow the track, cross a stile and enter the next field. It is not possible to see the next stile across the field so it is best to pass towards the left of the conifers ahead in a "10'o'clock" direction from the forestry track stile.

Unfortunately, there is dense undergrowth on the other side of this next stile and we had to skirt left into the edge of the wood to get round it. Some of the stiles need hawthorn etc trimming back to allow easier access. However, this is an enjoyable walk along quiet lanes, fields and woodland with some lovely views and St David's Church is interesting.

Editor's comment: The "missing" stile is in fact still there but was hidden by a mass of bramble bushes.  The directions have been amended accordingly.  Many thanks to Mr Hoccom for alerting me to this problem!

Comments: John Nichols and I did this walk today. The directions were very clear and we particularly liked the idea of pointing  the walker in the direction of the foot slab of a stile. Scenically it was easily the best of the twelve or so we have done so far. And it did indeed take a bit longer than the time suggested!

Comments: Great walk and pretty good directions. However, the paragraph below is far from correct. It says 1 and a half miles - it is more like 3.
"After 1½ miles turn right on a lane, soon crossing Chain Bridge. (The Chain Bridge pub is nearby.)"

Editor's comment: In fact the OS Explorer map and Microsoft AutoRoute both indicate a distance of 1.7 miles.
