Along the Frome Valley and its nature reserves.

A delightful ramble starting in Sapperton Village with roadside parking by the Church and the Bell Inn. We will walk down to the Thames & Severn canal and along to the wonderful Daneway Inn. After a short stretch of lane we will cross Daneway Banks and Siccaridge Wood with their abundance of flora and fauna to rejoin the canal. We will then loop around though Oakridge dropping down though woodland to the River Frome and follow the path switching between river and canal back to the Daneway. Here some may want to stop for a pub lunch or else follow the outward path back to Sapperton.
