Overview

A gentle stroll from the Gateway Centre, round some lakes, through the lakeside activity centre and to All Hallows church where we will have a coffee stop in the graveyard. We will then walk through fields and past the impressive Edwards College to join the canal path. We will then follow the canal path back to the Gateway Centre. Good paths in the main, but the canal path is uneven with tree roots and can be slippery and boggy after a rainy spell. The odd stile or two.

Leisurely pace, Level 0 (completely flat). We will meet at the start point at 10:20 by the Cotswold Outdoor Shop.

There is plenty of parking and the Gateway Cafe serves good food, snacks and lunches.
