A lovely canal-side and countryside loop starting from the village of Seend Cleeve, combining quiet rural paths with stretches along the Kennet and Avon Canal.

The routes offer a relaxed mix of village walking, open fields and waterside scenery.

At their heart, these walks are all about easy-going exploration, finishing beside the canal where a welcoming pub provides a well-earned stop to round things off.

This is a fabulous short family-friendly walk from the pretty village of Seend Cleeve.

If you head clockwise, the first half of the walk is a stroll through the village and then through some pretty open countryside.

Walker review

Nice walk, but muddy as you’d expect. Our dog was off lead for about half of the walk. Nice views and variety of landscape.

This second route is an extension of the first route option, for those of you with a little bit more time for your walk.

The route enjoys everything from the first route, but the extra distance takes you through much more refreshing open countryside and also on a short adventure through Giles' Wood making it a slightly more varied walk.

Seend Cleeve Walk 3

Time

Route type
Circular

This final route option is basically a further extension to the second route which offers a bit more of a work out and will build up a bigger appetite for your visit to the post-walk pub!

The extra distance offers an additional loop of walking that heads to the east towards the village of Seend and it includes more canal-side walking and a pretty steep climb up and down a hill.
