First-hand experiences
Lovely walk, we agree about completing it clockwise because it saves the best until last. The parts along the river are truly delightful. Pubs along route are excellent, and we found a lovely cafe with a garden in Coln St Aldwyns.We are loving this App!
Lovely walk in the spring sunshine. Beauliful houses and lots of wildlife. 2 very friendly pubs enroute.
Great walk across fields
I would do the route the opposite way to suggested as that way you do the nicest part of the walk last and the pub in Coln st alwyn would be 20 minutes before the end. Parts of the walk had obviouly been flooded so be ware if its been raining lots. A lovely walk and easy to find the way around.
There was a section just after the short hill up through the woods where the suggested route took you left and you then did a short section on a busy road. I took an alternative footpath straight on across a field which brought you put at the road crossing, would suggest altering the route slightly. Fab walk!
Very enjoyable, took one very lively spaniel and one slower dog and both enjoyed it. Would definitely do it again .
Great walk, the route was easy to follow.
