Overview

A circular and predominantly flat route following sections of Montgomery Canal tow path combined with quiet lanes and surrounding fields. The route provides leisurely walking. There are likely to be muddy sections so walking poles are recommended. There are a small number of stiles on the route. The walk route may be adapted in the week prior to the walk to accommodate any changes required due to the weather. Please check the walk details on the website by Tuesday 6 January 2026 in case any late changes have been made following the final recce.

Walkers should bring food and drink for two breaks on the walk.
