A quiet, peaceful walk with lots of wildlife around the lake.

The George is a decent pub for food and drinks near to the Wall of Fame at Loddon Bridge, a legal graffiti spot beneath the A329(M) where the concrete pillars are covered in murals, full height pieces, throw ups and street art that changes week by week. It’s well known locally as one of the few places where street artists can paint without hassle, so the walls are never static and that constant turnover is what it’s famous for. Access is straightforward also from The George pub car park, and its position right by the River Loddon makes it an easy detour from National Cycle Route 5 and other local paths. Flat and accessible on foot or bike, it’s worth a stop whether you’re passing through or planning a short loop – and pairing it with a pint at The George before or after is always an option.
