Not a bad route, but a bit spoilt by gates and stiles that tend to slow your progress and interrupt your flow.

Good for a beginner (as testified by my Wife!).
It's best to take a map with you (print the one from this site) as some of the route is not obvious. We tried the ride without and very quickly got lost and then tried it again this weekend with a map; much better.
