From Norbury Wharf (ST20 0PN) via Shelmore Woods and Shelmore Embankment, returning to Norbury Wharf
Starting at the millennium boulder by the main entrance to the wharf at 10.30 am, the walk is along a short stretch of lane before picking up the bridleway through the woods. Another stretch of lane goes downhill, beneath the canal, and up steep steps to the towpath for the return. The steps may be avoided (no extra distance) by walking half a mile along the lane to a ramp.
Total distance approx. two and a half miles. Open to non-IWA members and well-behaved dogs. Flat, comfortable, walking footwear is strongly advised.
Parking is available at Norbury Wharf (ST20 0PN), where the café opens from 8:30 am for breakfast, teas, and toilet facilities before the walk.
The café also offers light lunches, and the Junction Inn opposite offers a Sunday carvery (booking essential on 01785 284288).
