We will leave from the Farm Shop at 10:15( If you meet us at the starting point then please do not park here- plan your own parking in advance if you are not going to take the bus).

Making our way to Barrow Court and it's impressive chapel, we will then cross the fields with views towards Tyntesfield and Flax Bourton. We will then come into the forest and up through a gorge to take us up to the top fields.

How do I join the walk?

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.

On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
