Overview

The walk starts and finishes at the Water Tower on the Downs. We make our way across the Downs to a lane and a path that take us down to the Portway. We then follow the path that runs beside the Avon to Sea Mills. We leave the path at Sea Mills and follow the River Trym to the Millhouse pub and through woods. As we emerge from the woods we spy a path ahead that takes us up past the Botanical Gardens to the Downs, the café and the Water Tower!
