Overview

A very varied walk including views, hills, canal, reservoir and fields. Bring some refreshments for a break by the reservoir. 

The Peacock Inn is at the start/end of the walk so it is possible to have a drink or even eat at the pub at the end of the walk. If you wish to eat there I suggest you book a table for 2pm.
