		This is an easy 5.5 mile walk, mainly level, with one small hill, and explores the neck of the Arlingham Peninsula, where the River Severn loops round for nine miles to progress just over one. There are good views to the Forest of Dean and the meanders of the Severn, and distant Cotswold vistas. You could see and perhaps meet some rare breeds en route. Framilode church by the river is worth a visit, with its unusual painted ceiling. The church is decorated with many nautical motifs, and in the graveyard more than one headstone records a drowning. Framilode expanded in 1779 when the Stroudwater Canal opened and formed part of the Thames and Severn Canal. Now Framilode is a tranquil spot.
