A Circular Walk from The King's Arms, Knowle

This walk was led by Tas Hind and started from The King's Arms in Knowle, B93 0EE, at 9.30 am.

 

The Walk leaves The King's Arms carpark to proceed south down the Grand Union Canal towpath for approximately 2 miles to Rising Bridge. Here leave the canal to continue along Rising Lane in an easterly direction to reach Baddesley Clinton. Walk along the Baddesley Clinton Estate drive up to the house and then around the gardens and lake. 

Return back along the drive to the estate entrance, go across Rising Lane into Netherwood Lane for about 200 yards and then take a footpath on the left along the right hand edge of a cultivated field, follow this footpath into the next field which then arrives back at the road by Rising Bridge. Turn right to proceed along Rising Lane for some 800 yards to a footpath on the right which appears to be just a drive to a smart new house but in fact just before the gate to the house a footpath appears on the right hand side, take the path and follow it to a road.  Turn right at the road and continue until The Millennium Way is signed on a path to the left, take The Millennium Way to Packwood House and gardens. On leaving the Packwood Estate onto the road, turn right and continue along the road for about 1.5 miles, just after going under a railway bridge, turn right into Bakers Lane. Proceed along Bakers Lane for approximately 1 mile to a canal bridge, cross the bridge and immediately take a path on the right, go down to the towpath and turn back under the bridge, then follow the towpath back to The King's Arms.
