A leisurely approximately 6.5 mile meander through the forest, this route sets out on small lanes through the village of Alton before taking to forest tracks and bridleways. On the outbound leg the route winds gradually uphill eventually affording a lovely view down the valley. The return is along the riverside with the relaxing sound of running water from the wayside waterfalls and brooks. Tracks are predominantly surfaced, and as such this will be a walk and trot only ride. A cafe stop may be made on the return leg.

Worth noting:
Forest trails are multi-user so it is likely walkers with dogs and cyclists will be encountered.
Occasionally Alpaca walks can be met on the forest trails.
There are some wooden bridges to cross and/or small water splashes en route.
There is some road work mainly on small country lanes.
