Most visitors to Overton confine their walks to the area near the river. This pleasant ramble follows some less well-known paths across undulating countryside, through meadowland and woods. The route, like all others in Overton, is fully waymarked. Follow the directional yellow arrows to find the next stile or gate.

  • This route is not suitable for wheelchairs, buggies and small children.
