Overview

The walk starts from the village with a walk along a country road towards the canal. After joining the canal we will walk towards the Brynich Lock and continue along the canal with views across to the Beacons. After about 3 miles we will arrive at the theatre where we will stop for a coffee break, there are toilet facilities here also. After the break the walk will take us along side the river for a short distance, we will then cross over the bridge onto the other side. The walk will the take us across the meadows,  diverting on the way onto a path through woodland after which we will have lunch looking over the fields towards the Black Mountains. After lunch we head back towards the village, passing over a wooden bridge looking at the snow drops on the way. As we head over the fields there are amazing views of the beacons. There are no stiles on this walk and it is flat all the way.
