A detailed description of the walk!
Follow the numbers to each of the trees on the trail.
Starting at 1 a Cherry (Prunus species) near the boathouse cafe and playground between the two ponds. The numbered order of the trees then takes you East along the Southern side of the smaller pond and then down to where a bridge crosses the River Loddon you then continue back along the North side of the river and ponds until you reach the far end of the larger pond at which you will cut between it and the paddling pool to number 15 an English Walnut (Juglans regia) tree. From here you continue West where their are three more trees North of the path and then work your way back along the five trees on the Southern side of the path before following the Southern edge of the large pond back to the start.
