Riverside Ramble

Walk directions

1. Start

   Start the walk by leaving the Discovery Centre towards the Onny Meadows. Go left before the Community Garden and follow the path, through a gate and into the hamlet of Newton.

2. Step 2

   Follow the narrow lane to a white metal bridge across the River Onny.

3. Step 3

   Cross the river then head left across the field to the corner of a wood. Keep the river on your left and walk to the kissing gate which leads onto the busy road. Be careful of fast moving traffic. Cross over the road on the bridge.

4. Step 4

   Beside the bridge is a small gate onto a set of steps down to a kissing gate. The next part of the walk follows a permissive path opened in co-operation with the farmer. Please keep your dog on a lead as there are often sheep, cattle or horses grazing on the riverbanks. Follow the permissive footpath along the riverbank. Continue on across the meadows parallel to the riverbank.

5. Step 5

   Follow the river as it winds through the meadow until you reach a kissing gate leading to an old lane next to a white bridge. You have now reached Newington.

6. Step 6

   Cross the river on the bridge, then go through the wooden gate to your right. Follow the path across the meadow.

7. Step 7

   Continue along the path to go through the gate and turn right to reach the Old School House at the top of the track. Follow the lane through Halford village.

8. Step 8

   Pass the church and follow the lane to the main Corvedale road again. At the T-junction with the main road turn right heading back into Craven Arms. Cross the road on the bridge and retrace your steps along the river to Newton. Alternatively you can continue along the road taking the second left on to Market Street. Follow Market Street back to the Discovery Centre.
