Why not try a Dawn Farmland Field Walk?
If you want to experience truly remote rural therapeutic walks, we have the best location in which to do so. The area includes a protected SSSI which is a common that was last farmed in Medieval times. You can still see evidence of the old field ditches.
Particularly at Dawn, you'll enjoy hearing and witnessing the wildlife and delightful birdsong.
