 This 7.6 mile treck is very scenic with canal and riverside walks, a duck pond is also an attraction. After passing a canal boat wharf we make our way along paths and through fields towards a very rewarding climb to 'Pots and Pans', where the views on the right day are stunning.

Morning sunshine dispersing the autumnal mists at the start of our walk

Reflections on a calm canal


Glorious Autumnal colours delight the eye.

The beacon on top of 'Pots and Pans', which we will visit in the afternoon

Some lovely paths with fantastic views [a few muddy patches as well!]

This lovely walk has only one stile to negotiate and different views at every turn.
