Hiking
A large lawn for sunbathing and picnicking, and a gentle curve in the River Avon for swimming. This is where many older Stratfordians remember learning to swim.
Watch out for boats! It can get very busy with rowers, tourist cruisers, and hired motorboats.
Here the Avon is upstream of the town, shallow and clean. There’s a little beach to get in and out easily (walk just a little way to the right). The river-bed is smooth mud, with a few reeds. Gentle current. It’s shallow, you can stand waist or chest deep all the way across.

Hiking
This whole area is being developed further and whilst there has been some concern over the ecological impact, the changes certainly make this a more interesting place to visit. Good, if limited, parking and within walking distance of the town centre too.
