Excellent walk. Stunning views. The first very steep climb was difficult - it was VERY steep - but what an achievement having reached the top. The second strenuous climb up the steps to Dolbury provided the highlight of the walk. It is always a bonus to be able to park in a free car park with toilets so all in all just about perfect.

Apart from the usual caution with sheep, a perfect walk for dogs. Ours loved it. Plenty of access to water for drink and play. No awkward stiles or gates.

A very difficult start, otherwise a lovely walk. Directions very good but would recommend taking an o/s map.
