Overview

Our walk starts along the old Grantham Canal, which we follow to Gamston. After crossing over to the opposite bank of the canal, we follow a leafy path which follows the route of the canal. There is a short road section, before we enter The Hook Nature Reserve. 
Our return is along the River Trent then another section of the canal.
