Walk details below - Information about the route etc.
This walk: 2007-4-12 from Shipley Bridge (SX 68070 62890) to the Avon Dam (SX 68000 652502) and back on the same track.
This was a simple walk along a tarmac'd track that did not pass any major landmark items although it was a beautiful day and enough sights were seen and photographed!
