A fantastic and beautiful and exceptionally scenic walk. Lovely and flat too. The churches are wonderful to stop off at and take a look inside.

Highly recommend a stop off and the cafe on the stop. There is a gorgeous pub on the canal side also.

One of the best Kamoot walks that we have completed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
