About this event

Why not come along and walk, get active, make new friends on one of our walk leader led walks . All you need to do is book in on this free walking session. This is a circular walk from the Bruce Boats office at Great Bedwyn, following the canal to the Crofton beam engines and looping back to the start via a Roman road and bridle paths. The path may be muddy, so stout footwear is essential. The walk is about 5 miles, and will take around 3 hours.
