Farley Mount Country Park
Farley Mount Country Park Is Made Up Of Several Large Copses. There Is A Selection Of Gravelled Trails As Well As The Option To Go Through The Forested Areas. We Walked A Standard Circuit Through West Wood Round To Crab Wood Which Took About An Hour Although Much Longer Walks Are Possible. The Main Trail Is Fairly Easy To Follow And We Found It To Be A Lovely, Quiet Walk And Only Saw About Four People The Whole Time We Were Out. Please Note Though That Although There Are Several Car Parks To Access The Park Walks, They Are Off Sarum Rd Heading Towards Farley Mount Monument Which Is Pretty Much A Single Track Road So Be Prepared....Not Best Suited To Very Large Vehicles. Farley Mount Rd Winchester Lancashire SO21 2JG 2.82 miles Off Sarum Road
