Nadder and Avon: urban rivers walk

Tuesday June 23rd

The rivers of Salisbury are one of its crowning glories, yet they can be taken for granted. The walk runs from Broken Bridges (where it starts) to Churchill Gardens. Meet where Broken Bridges footpath leaves Lower Road, Bemerton (NGR SU1268 3038). Here, the Broken Bridges Nature Reserve initiative will be explained by one of its founders. We will then walk across the Nadder floodplain to West Harnham considering both its development and the river. In East Harnham, the development of the settlement at the Ayleswade Bridge, will be described before crossing to Churchill Gardens (SU1497 2917) where aspects of the history of the Salisbury Avon’s will be described.

Please make sure this distance is suitable for you.  Wear suitable footwear as it may be wet underfoot.
