This route is well-loved by local dog walkers.

It is only 1.6 miles long and should only take around 45 minutes to complete.

The route is incredibly scenic and should take less than an hour to complete.

However, set aside some more time if you want to soak in the awesome countryside views.

The route starts at Pepper Street car park and continues onto Oughtrington Lane.

At just over two miles long, this route will take you about an hour to complete.

It is mainly used for running and walking- but it’s also a popular place for walkers to take their dogs.

Starting at the Co-Op in Paddington, you make your way past Bruche Primary school and into the park.

In the park, you will cut through woodland and breeze past water features.
