It is worth taking a short detour down to the river bank, because you should take in the wonderful natural beauty and tranquility. The river stones are a real treat for stone fans

My recommendations after completing this walk:

1) This walk is smooth with some small hills and takes around an hour to complete the whole way around.

2 - Make sure to bring strong footwear and check the weather forecast before heading out/footwear with good grip!
