The walk

Somerford Keynes Walk

A very nice and easy walk around the pretty village of Somerford Keynes and surrounding countryside. The route takes you through the village, past the church, along a small stretch of the River Thames and past the lake at Neigh Bridge County Park.

There is also a lovely pub in the village for refreshments.

If you want to make the walk slightly longer and include more of the lake, you can combine this walk with the short Neigh Bridge country park walk.
