Overview

This pre-Christmas Ramble is around Downton taking in both Barford and Standlynch Downs, Trafalgar Park and Charlton All Saints. Possible stretches wet underfoot, but also good tracks and paths. A shorter option will be available if the Charlton Weir is problematic. Map: EX130.

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Peter S 07833601216) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

If you would like to car share, please let the walk leader know when you book and we will hopefully be able to facilitate this.

There will be one stop during the day for coffee and snack.

Assistance dogs only.
