A relatively rarely run section of the NF, and not directly under NF control. The land was acquired (donated?) to RSPB a year or so ago, and is slowly being converted to a nature reserve, training centre, 'disadvantaged youngster hostel centre' etc etc.
Probably a 'wet day' route, since most is under tree cover - pending replacement of conifers with broad leaved tress and re-establishment of cattle grazing.
All to enhance the appeal to the birds. And I assume, whatever bodies give grants for this sort of thing.

The camera on the map shows where this was taken.
