Overview

An easy flat walk at a gentle pace, starting through Brookwood Country Park, then over Sheets Heath to Brookwood Arch (here note the evidence of the former railway branch line into Bisley Camp) and return all the way along the Basingstoke Canal towpath (watch out for wildlife - if we are lucky we may spot a kingfisher or a heron).
