We have done this walk on many occasions and always found it reasonably strenuous. If the tide is in it can mean you need to miss out some parts of the foreshore by staying higher up the riverbank or on little-used paths through thick woodland. If the tide is low you should not venture too far towards the water, because in places the mud is treacherous. In fact this is not a walk for the faint-hearted. If you are awaiting a heart bypass or your second replacement of the same hip, in fact, I would definitely recommend you give it a miss. However, if you have some modicum of stamina and a hint of a spirit of adventure, you will not regret undertaking this walk. The views are great! The variety of birdlife is incredible. As well as a very wide variety of ducks and other common waterfowl - oystercatchers, curlews and peewits abound - and in the autumn you can pick stones of the freshest and cleanest blackberries you'll ever find. Walnuts and sweet chestnuts in great number can also be had in season!
