Overview

This is a highly circuitous exploration of the riverside paths, woodlands and fields on the eastern side of Keynsham. We start right next to the council tip (Keynsham Recycling Hub), but very quickly leave it for more pleasant surroundings. Weather depending, there will be opportunities for views from Kelston Round, Prospect Stile and the Little Down Hill Fort. Lunch will be spread between a wooded picnic site and Upton Cheyney.
