Ramble – Ashley Heath, Watchmoor Wood and Castleman railway

Wed 27th – Ashley Heath, Watchmoor Wood and Castleman railway)

Leader – Richard (07753 892025)

Meet – Moors Valley Country Park post code BH24 2ET. The Park has its own signposted service road 1.5 miles west along Horton Road after turning off the Ashey Heath Roundabout over the A31. There is a midweek charge for parking in winter of £2.20 all day. Ticketless barrier system, using number plate recognition. We pass the pay kiosk (Infront of the visitors centre) at the end of the walk (cash or cards). The technical difficulty is ‘easy’. It is suitable for the wet weather season with all tracks and trails providing all weather access, using normal walking boots so good even if really wet. There are toilets at the visitors centre 200m from car park. The rest stop will be a little over half-way. The visitors centre contains a cafe.
