Overview

Due to the continued flooding along the Thames Path section of this walk, that part of the walk has been cancelled.

The alterative will be completely on the Ridgeway and the Downs (much dryer).

We will head Westward along the Ridgeway then swing North East over Aston Upthorpe Downs and Eastward along the Fair Mile and then back to the Ridgeway.

Bring a picnic. Some steep assents but only a few stiles. Vale Walk Leader PR 07418 078044
