A couple of hundreds yards up the road, past the Rugby club we cross over a little river
And onto the canal banks. And even though there is a road running along part of the canal, it's on the other side and totally safe for the pups to meander along off their leads.
My favourite tree on the walk is this amazing weeping Willow, how gorgeous is this tree?
As we get towards town, about half an hour's walk from home, we start to reach some canal side apartments opposite the cricket club.
We have several locks along the stretch of canal we walk.
And such tranquil walks during the week, not another person in sight, although weekends are a little busier.
How lucky are we to have this on our doorstep?
Oh, and of course, if we walk in the other direction for 20 minutes - we have a lovely pub with an outdoor area on the canal banks. A great place to stop for refreshements before heading back home.

Oh, you have definitely fallen on your feet with this location, Jacqui. It's idyllic! (How near is the nearest golf course? Have you said yet?)
I am SO excited to see the photos, the new house is lovely, and your view is very open and pastural! The walk is amazing, how lucky!!! I love the little river and the trees; the lochs, how cool is that! It all looks so beautiful and relaxing. The dogs look good, and you must be very very happy. Hope Neil's back is better soon and you find yourselves out on the golf course! LL
