Short Stroll 3 – Dolerw Park Loop
1.5 miles | 40 minutes | Easy
Directions
- Cross the bridge over the River Severn to the point where paths meet, turn back to the side of the Severn. Follow the outline of shrubs and River Severn on your right- hand side.
- You will see the community orchard on your left; planted by Newtown Rotary and beyond it Gorsedd Stone circle (more information available on the notice board you will reach later on the walk). After walking around the stones continue with shrubs on your right, crossing over one of the paved paths to the next paved path.
- Over the second path follow the meandering shrub line on your right and you will reach a bench and other seating alongside the third paved path.
- Follow this path to the right until you reach a notice board on your left. Leave the paved path to take the mesh grass path straight ahead, signed as Dolerw Park Meadow Meander. Where the path turns left continue straight ahead on the grass track.
- At the end of the park you will reach the river at the start of the wood. To return to the bridge follow the path with the shrubs and river on your right to cross the bridge back to the start.
