Overview

This 12-mile walk begins at Cosgrove Marina and takes you through picturesque countryside, passing along the Grand Union Canal and through quiet lanes. We’ll enjoy peaceful views of the canal and surrounding areas, with a mix of footpaths, lanes, and open fields. The walk is mostly flat with some gentle inclines, making it a relaxed route for walkers of all abilities.

A perfect way to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, with plenty of opportunities to take in the winter scenery.
