Access info The walk is on pavements and paved park paths. The original route goes through a forest path with steps, but we can avoid this and stick to pavements so it is accessible for wheelchairs or limited mobility. Please let the walk leaders know if you would prefer this at the start of the walk. You’re also very welcome to meet us at the top of Trooper’s Hill and not do the rest of the walk.
