Embark on an easy hike along the Shakespeare's Avon Way and Stratford Greenway Loop, a pleasant 4.2-mile (6.7 km) route. You'll experience a gentle ascent of just 87 feet (27 metres) over approximately 1 hour and 43 minutes, making it accessible for most. The trail offers picturesque views of the River Avon, where you can watch boats glide by, and leads you through open countryside. You'll enjoy a mix of riverside paths and the flat, accessible greenway, providing a varied and enjoyable experience. This loop is designed for a relaxed pace, allowing you to soak in the tranquil atmosphere of the area.
This route is suitable for all ages and abilities, making it an excellent choice for a family outing. While the Stratford Greenway section is mostly surfaced and easy to navigate, be aware that some parts of the Avon Way can become muddy after rain. We recommend wearing sturdy hiking boots to ensure comfort and stability on these sections. You will find amenities like Bobby's Cafe & Wine Bar, housed in a vintage train carriage, along the route for refreshments.
This loop uniquely combines sections of two popular paths, offering a diverse experience around Stratford-upon-Avon. As you hike, you will cross the historic Stannals Bridge on the Stratford Greenway, a notable reminder of the area's railway heritage. The route also takes you past significant landmarks, including the Holy Trinity Church, famously known as the burial place of William Shakespeare. This trail provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with both nature and history.
