Take a gentle walk through woodland and the river meadows along the banks of the River Avon, with stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
The start / finish point for this walk is Dorothy's Wood car park:

The Riverside Trail starts and finishes at Dorothy's Wood car park. This car park and woodland walking route is being provided for your enjoyment and we ask that you donate via the post in the car park or by text.
This walk has no stiles, steps or kissing gates but features a single person width bridge and a walk through metal gate (with fitted bottom rail to step up over). The route crosses the public highway.
