Walk Description:

Meeting Point - Wessex Gate Retail Park — gather near the McDonald’s entrance.  From here, we’ll cross over to the lovely Holes Bay path, where the air is crisp and the trees are beginning to turn gold, amber, and deep russet. We’ll follow this scenic trail with wide views across the bay toward Upton Country Park.  Once inside the park, we’ll wander beneath canopies glowing with autumn colour, past rustling leaves   We’ll loop back through the park’s changing landscapes, retracing our route alongside Holes Bay to our starting point.
