Overview

A varied walk with lots to enjoy including ancient woodland, a wetland nature reserve, Cassiobury Park’s weir, a lengthy stretch on the Grand Union Canal towpath and trails in the grounds of a luxury hotel. There will be some mud but the majority of the walk is on good paths, although with some uneven surfaces.
