The section of towpath between here and Frampton-on-Severn is OK for more robust road bike (don't be taking your Pinarello on there!)

Splatt Bridge

Lovely spot. The canal path to Ryall's Lane is manageable on any bike in the summer, but a bit slippery for road bikes in the winter or after significant rainfall.
