Local Dog Walks

Canal Towpath Newbury
This Path Follows The Kennet &Amp; Avon Canal. I Started At The Discovery Centre Just Outside Newbury On The Road To Thatcham Where You Will Find Free Parking And A Cafe. There Is A Dirt Track That Crosses Over The Railway Track Taking You Down To The Canal. My Dog Loved It, Although Being A Cockapoo He Did Spend A Lot Of Time Trying To Get Into The Canal. It’S A Relaxing Route Which Is Level. The Nature Discovery Centre Lower Way Lancashire 4.13 miles
