Acres Down Walk Description
The Acres Down Walk is a family, wheelchair, and dog and horse-friendly path that takes you through woodlands. As you wander through this path, you will journey through mostly woodland areas and walk up and down on sloped sections. This path is not a strenuous one but makes you feel as if you have exercised! After following the path back to the beginning, head to Minstead and explore the thatched cottages and picturesque town that has been left mostly unspoilt.
