A Round Knighton Heath #8 Parking is available in Francis Avenue where the walk begins. A short 8 stage multi approx. 1.6 miles on public footpath/bridleways near the golf club. I think a buggy and All terrain wheelchair would have no trouble on this route as it consists of some tarmac, hard sandy soil or gravel. This is a circular dog walk that our family have done many times. The different dogs over the years all love it … lots of sniffs (so they tell me!) My eldest son was a very active member Knighton Heath Golf Club from a 13yr old junior he worked/played hard to get his handicap reduced to scratch +2 before he was sent to Iraq with the Army. He has just told me he still holds the Amateur Course Record (65)and won the County Championship for them too. I hadn’t dare say “Where’s Ben?” when we passed the 3rd tee as Misty would have gone looking and not come back until she found him!!!! As this is a SSSI area I have been given permission from the Greenspace Maintenance Team (B of P) for these caches but they have asked me to make it clear that there is no need to leave bridleway/tracks to reach the caches and not to cut corners across the heathland. They have just put up gates and cattle grids so I suppose they might graze animals one day therefore keep dogs on lead if you see livestock. Hope you all enjoy the walk, there are some good views and hopefully you will see a selection of wildlife. I suggest you put inquisitive dogs on a lead after #7 as you will have Golf course to your left and driving range to your right so listen out for the shout of “fore left” and duck! Luckily I have never heard it yet!! After this cache you walk on up the footpath and the path crosses the fairway near the 4th tee! so please look to your right and make sure no-one is teeing off. The public footpath leads you through the Knighton Heath G.C. car park along the road (check no-one is teeing off on the 18th tee to your left) to the entrance where #1 is situated. Please do not attempt #2-8 at night Bring a pen to sign log please.
