📍 Starting Point: Severn Vale School, Quedgeley. Please park in the spaces on the left as you enter the school gates.

🌟 Details:
Join us for a 6-mile walk through the stunning landscapes of the Severn Vale! Our route will take us from Quedgeley, passing through Stonebench and Hockley Hill, and exploring part of the Thames and Severn Canal. Along the way, enjoy beautiful views of the Severn Vale, reasonable paths, and a bit of adventure!
