Overview

Starting from Monkmoor we’ll head along the river and into the quarry. We’ll leave the river and stroll through town, before joining the old canal path towards the Flaxmill.

We’ll stop to have breakfast at the Flaxmill’s Turned Wood cafe. The walk and cafe are dog friendly.

After breakfast we will walk a different route back to the starting point.
