Overview

As a condition of the Garendon Park development, a new footpath has opened through Garendon Estate. The new path goes through the fields and passes close to the Temple of Venus (no access to the monument itself). The circular walk will also visit several woods, the Stonebow Washlands wildlife site and part of the University campus.
