About This Trail

Imported description

You can start at the east end parking lot and walk downhill to the Fitton Green monument. You will have a gradual downhill walk along Mary's River as you go downhill. You will pass through a gate onto a right of way through a cattle farm and end up at a parking lot. This is a great hike, but now you have to go back, so you have to go up the hill and back down to the parking lot. The trail is muddy in the winter and spring.
