Overview

Starting from the Abbey Gardens.then along the riverside walk, crossing the Severn over the bridge to Castle fields.  Then on to the Beavers walk way via the canal walk and The Maltings.  No guarantee of seeing Beavers but possibly their work in regenerating the area. Finally on to Hencote, across fields into town, then along  the riverside to the  start. 

There will be one coffee stop en route. At the end of walk if anyone wants to linger the Abbey Gardens is a good place to have lunch.
