National Trust (paid) parking - free for NT members.
Not suitable for pushchairs.
Steep steps down to the river which can be slippery in winter. You can cross the river over the stepping stones or a bridge further along the route.
Steep hill back up to the top so slightly challenging but doable.
Fully marked route, follow 'Stepping Stones Walk'.
