Overview

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.
