This is a great section of canal. We were a team of six cyclists doing the LEJOG but it still wasn't too busy. Nice ambience along the canal and through the dock area.

Get there whenever you see the boats leaving the docks!

Plenty of shops, pubs, and places to eat

Muddy AF. Avoid in winter unless you are on a MTB

Raikes was born at Ladybellegate House, Gloucester, in 1736, the eldest child of Mary Drew and Robert Raikes, a newspaper publisher. He was baptised on 24 September 1736 at St Mary de Crypt Church in Gloucester. On 23 December 1767 he married Anne Trigge, with whom he had three sons and seven daughters: their oldest son, the Rev. Robert Napier Raikes, was the father of General Robert Napier Raikes of the Indian Army, while another son, William Henley Raikes, was a colonel in the Coldstream Guards and fought for the British in the Napoleonic Wars. Raikes's great-granddaughter Caroline Alice Roberts (1848–1920) was a fiction writer who married the composer Sir Edward Elgar.

Doing a circuit from Saul Junnction along the canal towards Splatt Bridge, back through Frampton village - two pubs and a cafe - enjoying what is said to be the longest village green in England. Rejoin the canal at Fretherne Bridge and retrace your steps to Saul Junction. 7kms.

Some great places at the docks. Nice to stop for coffee and shops.
