Overview

Join us as we observe narrow boats manoeuvring the Three Locks whilst we walk a short distance along the tow path of the Grand Union Canal before heading off up past Paper Mill Farm and Alders Farm to Oak Wood. We then follow the Greensand Ridgeway Walk until turning into Stockgrove Country Park where there are toilet facilities. We carry on to Rushmere Country Park for our lunch stop. The route back to the cars follows the GRW, before a final stretch along the canal.
