10.30 1 Boot New Members Walk: River Boyd and Bitton (Brunel Plus Walk)
Event Date: Sun 6 January 2019
Event Time: 10:30
This walk is in the past.
New Members Walk, potential and existing members all welcome, just turn up! We walk alongside the River Boyd through attractive countryside between Wick and Bitton, using field paths and lanes, before climbing to Cullyhall Farm for views across the Boyd valley and over Bristol. We then drop down to the Avon Valley Railway Station to eat our packed lunches and buy coffee at the buffet. The Railway Path takes us to Bitton and its many listed buildings, including C17th The Grange. A climb up Bitton Hill gives further views, before we cross to Redfield Hill and one last climb to return to Wick. Average fitness required. Several horse paddocks, so no dogs.

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
