There is a footpath across the watermeadows in Bidford-0n-Avon. However, you must not idly wander along the riverbank, gaze into the depths and contemplate on life. No, you must keep to the middle of the field, and not look at the reflections in the Avon of the ancient church that predates the local bard, or intrude into the view of properties with grounds with a river frontage.
