“Radford Bank and the Staffs. & Worcs. Canal.” This is an easy 5½ mile walk with no stiles along the towpath, grass paths and pavements. There is one gentle incline when we first leave the towpath, and a steady descent back down to the canal in the latter part of the walk.
From the pub car park, we turn left onto the Staffordshire & Worcestershire towards Baswich, leaving the canal by bridge 103. Here there is a short climb on a green track up to the Stafford suburbs of Weeping Cross and Wildwood, which we pass through on pavements. Thereafter, we descend along a further green track down to the canal, which we re-join at bridge 96, alongside Stafford Boat Club. From here we return to our starting point with fine views across Radford Meadows.
