This walk is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs, and should be avoided after heavy rain, when paths in Crow Park might be muddy, but is lovely in the Spring after a dry spell, when the daffodils are flowering and there is blossom on the trees in the Memorial Gardens.
From the aquarium, we go up Shipping Brow and turn left into High St to Wood St, then down to Netherhall Corner. Explore the Memorial Gardens adjacent to St Mary’s Church before crossing the main road at the traffic lights. Walk through the main memorial gardens, stopping to explore the monuments, then along Ellenborough Rd to the gap in the wall just after the bridge over the river. Walk along the riverbank to the far end of the park, before returning through the trees to the entrance. Return to the aquarium via Wood Street and High St.
Wildlife interest. Look out for herons and kingfishers on the river.
