Overview

The walk sets off along the boatyard side of Colemere, following the canal to Blake Mere, then Ellesmere where we will have an early lunch stop on the waterfront (toilets available)  We then head towards the Oteley estate and across fields to welsh Hampton where we will rejoin the canal and return along the boardwalk side of Colemere. 

A flat leisurely walk, though a little longer than most Thursdays.
