Overview

The walk begins at Delapré Abbey. We'll start with a circuit of the lake at Delapré before making our way through the University campus to the canal. We'll then walk along the canal and back to Delapré alongside the river. The walk will be on established paths and tracks although the circuit around the lake might be muddy in places depending on weather conditions. There is a cafe and toilet facilities at Delapré Abbey but none en route. We shall be having a short break at the picnic area near the canal.
