Overview

Come and join me on this our New Year walk for 2025.

It will take us through part of the village of Knowle, and surrounding countryside, it will include part of the Grand Union Canal and Knowle Park, which is Jobs Close Nature Reserve.

It is generally level and follows pavements, tracks, the towpath, field paths - one of which is muddy, and two short sections of lane. This is a dog friendly walk, but please note that there is a muddy field.
