Description: | A cracking forest walk for dogs and people, can be both demanding in areas where hilly and very pleasant on some of the flatter parts of the walk. Several different routes are available for walkies, but some are for cyclists as well and so a lead may be required. Oliver loves his walks over in Hamsterley. We've been twice, and the first time we got lost walking through a stream, and he loved it. He had a swim, a run, a roll, and a walk (or should i say plod) back to the car! BBQ's are allowed so a day can be made of it. Well worth the trip! |
