GUIDED WALKS PROGRAMME 2010
WALK THE FROME IN A DAY!
Sunday 4th July 2010
Could you walk 20 miles? Take the challenge!
Follow the fabulous River Frome from source to city on a special 20-mile walk, organised by the Avon Frome Partnership and South Gloucestershire Council to celebrate the wildlife and heritage of the Frome Valley.
In just one day, we will walk the whole length of the river and discover the many wonderful natural resources within the Frome Valley, including beautiful green spaces, parks, woodlands and riverside areas from the Cotswolds right through to the heart of Bristol.
Making an early start in Bristol, journey by coach to the source of the river at the edge of the Cotswold Hills. From here we’ll explore the Frome Valley Walkway on a flat, easy-paced walk all the way back to the centre of Bristol.
Don’t want to walk the whole 20 miles? No problem, just finish at another point for a shorter walk.
Additional coach pick ups at Frenchay, Winterbourne, Frampton Cotterell, Yate and Chipping Sodbury.
Coach pick up in Bristol: 8am. Walk starts at 9am.
Approximate finish time (Bristol): 7pm. Walk time includes lunch break and rest stops as required.
Cost per person: £3, payable on booking.
For more information and to book your place, contact Paula Spiers on 0117 922 4325 or email: paula.spiers@bristol.gov.uk

ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS IN SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE
South Gloucestershire Council, supported by a generous funding donation
from the Chipping Sodbury Rotary Club, has recently completed access
improvements to the Frome Walkway on the Wickwar Road, Chipping Sodbury.
A historic pennant sandstone stile, which has for many years hindered
access to the path, has now been re-sited to allow full access to the
Frome Walkway, whilst maintaining the historic character of the site.
