To paradise and back

This easy, level walk is along attractive canal towpath to Paradise Fields, a newly created area of park and wetland, with lagoons that attract wildfowl.

If starting walk at Paradise Fields:

  • Parking: Signposted Paradise Fields at Westway Cross retail park
  • Facilities: Refreshments and toilets at McDonalds at Westway Cross retail park.
  • Accessibility: This walk is not suitable for wheelchairs 

Directions

  • From Horsenden Farm, walk down to the canal.
  • Turn right along the towpath, through the sculpture trail and the decorative wooden arch, to the pedestrian entrance gate.
  • Turn left on the pedestrian bridge to cross the canal, go down the steps and continue along the towpath on the other side.
  • Walk along the towpath for quite a way. When you pass under a wooden footbridge, turn left through a metal gate, then follow the path into Paradise Fields.
  • Follow the path to a viewing platform over the main lagoon where you can watch the wildfowl.
  • Retrace your steps to the start to complete the walk.

(Alternatively this walk could be started from Paradise Fields, to Horsenden Farm and back).
