A lovely river with plenty to see as you stroll along. We were there on an extremely crowded day but it did not spoil our river views or walking around. Plenty to see and plenty on offer around the river, with many food / dining options, various boat rides and sightseeing. A delightful picturesque town.
Maybe we were lucky but there was hardly any other walkers and only a few bikes. We walked from the bridge along the recreation side of the river down to the footbridge. Over the bridge we walked to the racetrack along a well maintained path, noting the loan railway carriage housing a cafe (closed). We saw a warn out sign indicating that another cafe was 2-1/2 miles further along, so we'll keep this for next time Walking back along the river visiting Shakespeare's church and back into town. The sun shone making the whole river scene vibrant with the clear blue sky. The Avon is a wonderful addition to the town
Pleasant walk with changing views along the river on both sides, particularly nice on a sunny day. Walk is an easy 3 miles there and back to town centre, and is full of locals walking their dogs or generally strolling. It does show the town well, with varying views, some wildlife, architecture and fields, and some changing river views with weirs etc.We did it both days just to stretch our legs and get our limbs moving, and it is a good way to work off lunch.
This walk along the banks of the Avon is recommended when it is dry as it can get rather muddy in places. Part way there are steep steps leading up from one of the locks and then down again further along. The route goes as far as an old railway bridge which crosses the Avon by the Racecourse and the return journey is all flat. There are two routes back - one along the Avon which we did not take, and the other along the route of the old railway adjacent to the Racecourse which was flat.
Whilst it 'followed' the river to much was through farmers fields for it to be pleasurable. We turned back after a short while, and looked for something more interesting to do.
A fantastic walk with nice food/restaurant along the river. Bit busy but that means everyone likes it!
This lovely walk starts along the river and continues through fields and past the race course. There is a cafe in an old railway carriage part of the way round which is a welcome break. The walk is about 3 miles so not too far (even for a novice walker)
Great Sunday morning walk with two dogs but its not compulsory, you can do it on your own! We love walking around the river here and you can find quieter areas if you look and are prepared to walk further
A very scenic and peaceful walk, especially in February, as there was barely anyone else there. Lots of birds around, and the area is clean and well-maintained.
Kept well maintained, beautiful surroundings, quite paths, ended at Holy Trinity Church and Grave Yard - very peaceful & pretty. Plenty of benches to sit & enjoy the scenery.
