Overview

This is a 6 mile urban walk along firm paths for the most part. It’s flat, apart from one short incline. It’s an out-and return route following the canal, the River Rea Path and going through Holders Lane Wood. There are no stiles. A little mud likely in the wooded section. No ice or snow when I did a recce today, Friday 16th January, but I’ll keep an eye on the weather and conditions over the next few days.
