Comments: | This was an enjoyable walk but would be much better in Summer when, hopefully, the ground would be much drier. The footpath from Browsholme Heights to the road to Crimpton would probably be impassable through the woods which looked very dense. Thankfully I had not taken this route, preferring to stay on the track by Browsholme Heights Wood. |
