Overview

Delightful, leisurely walk along the canal towpath with its boats, bushes and flowers, passing interesting buildings, woodland and parkland. Visit to the Sikh gurdwara in Southall (bring a headscarf for this visit & be prepared to remove shoes for the inner sanctum) You may like to bring some pre-packed food (fruit/veg as most Sikhs are vegetarian) to donate to the kitchen and a donation for having your lunch there. Alternatively bring a picnic to eat at the canal side. Toilets at Gurdwara and at The Old Crown. Food & drink can also be purchased in Southall.
