The walk also includes a section of the river Severn and and Dowles Brook with Lunch at Knowles Mill.
There will be an opportunity for refreshments at the Button Oak pub at the end of the walk.
There will be a short drinks stop and a slightly longer lunch stop - so remember to bring a drink and a packed lunch.
