Loop
Highway to Health, ECOS
This urban walk is part of the Highway to Health Scheme - a simple and innovative scheme which aims to encourage people of all ages to walk for leisure and good health. It uses pole signs at one kilometre intervals on an established route.
It is measured from outside the main entrance to the ecos millennium environmental centre. The complete route is in an environmentally managed area and is mostly on a pedestrian only footpath.
TRAIL INFORMATION
The route follows the path around the lake, passing through semi-natural grassland and woodland habitats where a profusion of flora and fauna can be seen including mallard, moorhen, meadow pipit, grasshopper warbler, kestrel, dragonflies, small tortoiseshell, orange-tip, bush vetch and water forget-me-not. The walker will also experience the contrast between the serenity of nature and the bustle of the nearby motorway.
