Starting at Rowhill Nature Reserve, we will follow part of the Blackwater Valley path through the copse out into Weybourne, then proceed along pavements to Brickfields Park before weaving our way to Manor Park. Here we will visit the WW2 memorial of Christ, The Heroes Shrine, the sunken garden, the Peace Garden and walk past the former Manor of Aldershot. Walking past the beacon, we'll skirt the duck pond before leaving Manor Park, walking through streets to reach the Municipal Gardens passing the war memorial. We'll then walk through the historic Cargate area back to Rowhill Copse.
Muddy paths in Rowhill Copse so wear boots and bring poles for slippery areas. No stiles, two short inclines, 10 steps, rest on tarmac paths and pavements. Toilets available in Manor Park (about half way on walk). Parking at Rowhill Nature Reserve carpark is tight so please car share where possible, or park in local streets such as Cranmore Gardens.
