러딩턴 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A recent "renovation" has covered half the Greenway (the half closer to Stratford) in loose pea gravel. It is an uncomfortable and unstable ride and very frustrating compared to the much nicer second half, even if the second half is narrower and has a few potholes here and there. Best to come prepared for that.

A lovely peaceful leg of this route disturbed only by birdsong and the rush of the Avon through the weir on the other side of the lock. Ideal place for a rest stop on one of the benches provided.

My tip is......Don't start this walk from here. The original route on Komoot showed the start point as being at 'the bus station'. There isn't a bus station and there isn't any parking. This was the best, safest and nearest spot I could find. A small cut in outside the sewage treatment works 😳 I would recommend starting at Dorothy's Wood at the other end of this walk. There is a car park there that asks for donations rather than charging for parking. And it doesn't close until 9pm.

After a wet winter all non roads very wet be prepared my Brompton coped very well but I got wet feet

From here it is 'just' 185 locks to get to London ;-)

I have visited this church before, this place is really great, https://drift-boss.org the scenery is extremely beautiful

Lovely views off the bridge with Suppe reflections in the river below

Simply lovely. Fantastic view on a beautiful sunny day.
