DISCOVER: The Crane Valley Trail
The Crane Valley Trail is a straight route of approximately 26 miles and can be split into 3 individual sections between 8 and 9 miles long. There are clearly many other possibilities the route could take and over time a definitive route will be published. The route we have trialled starts at Headstone Manor and travels the length of the catchment to Isleworth where the Duke of Northumberland river meets the River Thames.
Here are links to the 3 individual walks that have been tried and tested by volunteers.
Walk 1 - Headstone Manor to Yeading Brook Meadows
Walk 2 -Yeading Brook Meadows to Baber Bridge
Walk 3 - Baber Bridge to Isleworth
The concept of this trail is encapsulated in a brochure from CVP : Crane Valley Trail concept
