Our verdict
The easy option if Golden Cap itself sounds like too much climbing — genuinely accessible, and still part of the same National Trust estate. The access lane is single-track and potholed, so take it slowly.
Conifer and broadleaf woodland on the hill behind Golden Cap, with a small play trail and a level, pram-friendly circuit that's one of the easiest walks in the whole Golden Cap estate. Ancient trackways and medieval field patterns criss-cross the surrounding farmland.
