Overview

A pleasant, largely flat, walk from Slimbridge village, across the fields to Frampton-on-Severn and return along the Gloucester and Sharpness canal. There are excellent views across the River Severn towards the Forest of Dean and Wales.

It's mostly well surfaced but there is a mix of surfaces so come prepared, depending on recent weather.

There are a few stiles and kissing gates (some very narrow!)
