South Brent to Shipley Bridge

Today was time for something a bit different, this walk gives you a bit of moorland, woodland tracks and quiet lanes. It is perfect when perhaps the weather isn’t quite as good as you would like! You could park at either end of this walk, at South Brent (where I did) or Shipley Bridge where there is a cost to park.
