Westleton Heath (NNR) is an ideal spot for a reasonably easy stroll with one short but steepish gravelly climb. The circular walk can be shortened and eased by missing out the "upper loop". The following photos were taken at different seasons and do not necessarily depict a step by step through the walk. Even including the hill section, this is about an hour's walk.
