Overview

                   Three meres, one canal, a tunnel and no stiles!.

A walk from Welshampton Village Hall, where we have plenty of parking, through lanes and fields towards Crimps Farm before arriving at the north end of Cremorne Gardens at The Mere where we will stop for our coffee break. A stroll around The Mere until we head through the canal tunnel (80m in length) where you may choose to bring a small torch. The tunnel has a handrail for the full length. Once through the tunnel we skirt round Blake Mere and eventually Cole Mere on our way back via lanes to the start.
