A figure of eight walk from Lechlade-on-Thames [1] In celebration of the Queen's Jubilee is this delightful sculpture near Allcourt Meadow. After leaving Lechlade, the route joins the long distance Thames and Severn Way and passes the southern edge of Bowmoor Lake. Turning north, and looping around the northern edge of the lake, the Thames and Severn Way is re-joined and followed to the banks of the River Thames and back to Lechlade. Slightly over 5 miles.
