    Properly nice walk to go on. Part of a heritage walk. I loved it in every way. The scenes were amazing. If you get a chance, park on the right hand side a you go in, you get a lovely view of the river. We saw horses coming over when we were there. It was well worth the walk and I loved every aspect of it. Do it!!! Not bad public toilets there as well.
