*This walk is partially road and partially dirt path and has been tested and designed for prams and a tramper. The dirt path is compacted with gravel in areas which makes it unsuitable for standard wheelchairs. In poor conditions this path can be muddy.
**All walks are dog friendly at Lyme. This route we ask that dogs are kept on lead due to the deer and grazing cattle. When walking at Lyme, look out for signs that indicate dog off-lead areas.
