Walk Description:

This walk starts in the free car park to the right-hand side of the Three Locks public house. We walk the first 1.3 km, along the tranquil tow path where various wildlife can be seen. We then turn right and head north on a bridle path walking up through fields and farm buildings as we ascend on a gentle uphill slope. We then walk a section of road and turn left up into Rushmere Country Park, walking along bridleways on the Greensands public footpath, which takes the walk through woods. We pass by tranquil fishing lakes and  end up back on the canal to our finish point at the Three Locks public house. This walk is suitable for those who can Adventure Walk but could be too strenuous for those new to Nordic Walking. It is a good 9.5 Km (6 miles) and can be extended.

Location Notes:

Drive to the very end of Mentmore Road, past the school and leisure centre, the car park is on the left.
