Overview

A walk from Ashton Keynes along the Thames Path towards Somerford Keynes and back via Swillbrook Nature Reserve.

This is a very pretty walk along good paths and with no stiles. Swillbrook Nature Reserve boasts a variety of wildlife including beavers. There are many information boards describing the wildlife that you can expect to see. We will walk alongside many of the lakes within the Cotswold Water Park. It may be muddy in places if there's been a lot of rain.

Moderate pace. Level 0 - totally flat. One coffee stop in NeighBridge Country Park.

The White Hart in Ashton Keynes serves excellent food at lunchtimes.

We will meet in the car park behind the Village Hall and which is adjacent to the children's nursery.
