Autumn Amble along the Stour

This out-and-back social walk follows a scenic stretch of the Stour Valley Way, starting near the Cherry Tree Nursery car park in Parley and heading east towards the historic Throop Mill. Tracing the peaceful twists of the River Stour, the route takes you directly through the heart of the Stour Valley Nature Reserve.

The gravel paths and easy pace make this walk suitable for most walkers.

The terrain is mostly flat and low-lying, though it can become muddy after heavy rain.
