Broomy and Linwood Trail Description
The Broomy and Linwood Walk is a fantastic adventure if you’re looking for ever-changing scenery, ranging from open heathland, ancient forest and woodland, and farmland. Dog lovers will also appreciate that their canine companion can explore off-lead, but you’ll need to call your pup back when you reach the quiet roads along this route. (And there are longer road sections on this route.) Donkeys and ponies are roaming around as well, so ensure your dog stays relatively close to you as you make your way around this 5.4mi loop.
Setting out from your car, you’ll head toward the Broomy Inclosure first before travelling through farmland. After going by some farms, you’ll reach the dog-friendly Red Shoot Inn. Stop here for some refreshments with your pup before continuing through Linwood and a lovely forest setting. Eventually, you’ll get back to your car, where the walk began.
