The bridleway arounfd the wood is fairly open so passable all year but bumpy and swampy in places after lots of rain. Good long off road sections though.

I choose not to stop for coffee and cake as it's a little expensive and they don't accept cash. Their business so it's up to them but I choose to go elsewhere where they do accept coin of the realm.

"The church of St Lawrence in Willington is situated to the west of the village, close by the National Trust properties of the Willington Dovecote and Stables. Limited parking is available by the roadside outside the church or in the Dovecote car park." It's a very nice place. I enjoyed relaxing and taking a portion of peace of mind.

From here you can access the cycle/walking path along the top of the dam which gives great views up the length of Grafham Water.

The cycle path along the top of the dam is wide and flat and gives great views across the reservoir. Reach it from the Visitor Centre at the northern end although access at the southern end is trickier as you have to squeeze through a narrow gap next to a locked gate by the main road.

Not very visible from the road, hidden behind a tall brick wall. You can peep through the old gateway or else from the driveway at the far left of the wall.
