Led by Wild Stroud, an organisation dedicated to protecting and enhancing Stroud’s urban wildlife corridor, this guided walk explores the rich wildlife of the Stroud Canal. Who knows what we will see… but fingers crossed for a kingfisher and even an otter… However, at the end of this walk you will know where to look and Apps you can use to help you identify, insects, birds and flowers (Info on these apps will be supplied in joining instructions).
Our walk starts at St Cyr’s Church near Stonehouse. This gentle out and back walk lasts around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
As with all wildlife experiences, nature offers no guarantees—but the joy lies in slowing down, noticing more, and learning where to look.
Come along for fresh air, connection, and the chance to experience the canal in a whole new way.
