All of the paths on this walk show signs of use, some a lot more than others. The scenery is good with a fair amount of variety, but not dramatic or outstanding. A lot of the route is flat, but the middle sections are higher up and offer excellent panoramic views over Crowton and beyond. The walk is best done in summer as some of the muddy bits are likely to be quite boggy in winter. Most of the stiles are okay but there are a couple of broken ones and a gate that needs dragging. There are several fields to cross, but no signs of any animals; and there is one short wood to climb through. There are no kissing gates and on the whole it's easy walking.

The walk is suitable for well-behaved children, senior citizens and anyone in-between. (The walk starts along the main road and a long length of it has no pavement). Excellent for dogs that can be lifted over stiles, but hopeless for wheelchairs and buggies. Suitable footwear will be anything flat soled, but boots will be best as there are some muddy sections. There should be no problems for anyone wearing shorts. On your route there are no refreshments, bench seats or any other facilities except at the hotel at the start and finish. If you book in advance, you should be able to get a good meal with your drink; an excellent finish to a good walk.
