Enjoyable walk that is flat and easy to follow. We parked on a bit of waste ground at the trail head, which is located at the gates leading to the Aerodrome. We followed the footpath to Thrift Wood, after a walk around the Nature Reserve we made our way to the Drunken Dragon Pub. Time for a rest, enjoy a snack, and the facilities. This is a pleasant, easy walk through agricultural lands, Thrift Wood Nature Reserve, the lovely village of Bicknacre, and two quiet country lanes. Very quiet and peaceful.
