Overview

This is a circular walk which traverses meadows and pasture land, and has an unusual crossing of the River Avon. We walk along the Avon to Eckington, where we cross the Medieval bridge. We also pay a visit to the Monkey House in Defford (one of the very last cider houses in Britain). . Please bring refreshments. Booking Essential
