A leisurely walk on well surfaced paths and roads. Starting from the Thomas Fowell Buxton Memorial on Bincleaves Green, the walk will follow the Coast Path to Newtons Cove, the Nothe and around the harbour via the Town Bridge and then along the Esplanade to Lodmoor. We then turn inland to reach Spa Road and return via Radipole Park & Gardens, the Rodwell Trail and Sandsfoot Castle and Gardens.
