Fun, Free and Friendly! An accessible way to be active, meet new people and discover your local area by water.

About this Event

Get active and enjoy walking by exploring our local Waterways on this free 2.5 hour guided walk. We will start and finish outside the Waterways Museum in Gloucester docks.

On the 5 mile circular route we will walk through the docks onto the Alney Island nature reserve and go to Over Basin to explore part of a restored section of the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal. We will then walk alongside the river Severn on our return route to the Waterways Museum.

The route follows recognised footpaths with some uneven surfaces in sections.

It’s an opportunity to meet people so come along on your own or bring a friend or family and stay for a tea or coffee afterwards if you can.

We welcome well behaved dogs on a lead. Please wear comfortable shoes, with weather appropriate clothing and bring a bottle of water. Please let us know if you have any requirements or concerns.
