A varied route on riverside paths, railway trackbeds and quiet lanes through the Severn Valley and southern Midlands. The woodland path beside the Bristol Avon, and the lanes of the Severn estuary past Slimbridge, are particular highlights. Numerous sections are unpaved, including a particularly rough field track east of Tewkesbury. There are gaps in the signposting between Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, and for a short distance around Evesham.
