Overview

This is an alternative Arrow Valley walk around the Abbey, lake and riverside. Mainly flat with no stiles. This is a 7 mile figure of eight walk (with the midway point being the same as the start/finish). So for those of you that wishing to do only 3.5 miles there is the option of walking either just the first or second half. For anyone wishing to walk only the second half of the walk (3.5 miles) then please meet outside the Boathouse Cafe at 11.45.

Toilets & refreshments are available at start, middle & end of the walk.
