Overview

this walk has only been recently offered and will be updated following a second recce . Walkers should check the detail on the Oswestry Ramblers page from Wednesday 7 May following the final recce.

The circular route takes the community path via the St Benion’s Well area across fields to the aqueduct by Carreghofa Locks and along the tow path in the direction towards Llanymynech. (See below * regarding a shorter walk option.)The route then heads over towards Carreghofa Hall heading back towards the car park at Llanymynech .

A significant part of the overall route is flat with potential inclines in the latter part of the walk(to be updated following a further recce). There will be a small number of stiles to cross along the route. 

*If any walker would like to do just the initial part of the walk this could be possible therefore offering a shorter walk. They should contact the walk leader by Wednesday 7 May to check this is still available. The major part of the first section of the walk is flat so could provide approximately a 3 mi
