First-hand experiences
Pleasant by the river. Plenty food options in the town.
Lovely flat walk, very open so suntan lotion / layers needed depending on the weather! Lots of refreshment options in the town centre.
Ground nesting birds so dogs must be on lead. Probably not possible when the floods are here! Lovely, peaceful walk
A nice easy circuit. Steer clear if it has rained recently but mostly grass and mud. A pleasant route alongside the river amd back into the town.
Lots of sheep and poo so not ideal if your dog likes to eat it!!
Beautiful scenic walk along the river. The Riverside Cafe and Ice Cream Cottage are great stop offs in Summer (close to the start/end location, right by Wetherspoons). ...The walk from The Boathouse to The Fleet Inn in Twying would be a great addition for Tewkesbury :)
Route to car park took us somewhere different to expected but was right by the Abbey which was a nice bonus and still only a short walk to the start
Overall the walk was great, although the path is slightly different to the route on the map due to the farmer doing works in the field. Also, due to the fishermen along the river bank its not advisable to let dogs off lead near them.
