THERE are few things more pleasurable than enjoying a stroll in the great outdoors – especially in a location as picturesque as Kelmscott.
A new pole walking group has sprung up in Kelmscott to give locals the opportunity to experience this for themselves, as walkers set a leisurely pace through the area’s parklands and along the river.

The new Kelmscott group meet at Hidden Coffee on Page Road from 8.30am on Saturday mornings.
Participants are provided poles for a gold coin donation.
