Join the IWA Lichfield Branch for a canal based walk around Walton-on-Trent and the Trent & Mersey Canal.
This is an easy 4¾ mile walk on level ground, with no stiles. Leaving the pub car park, we cross the Trent on the footbridge and walk alongside Tucklesholme Quarry, a nature reserve in the making. We traverse the A38 safely on a flyover and walk down onto the T&M, where we turn left. We say goodbye to the canal by bridge 39 and stroll through the village of Efflinch towards Barton under Needwood, which we leave by the marina. We then return to our starting point the same way we came, i.e., over the A38, alongside the nature reserve and across the Trent.
Meet 10:30 for a 10:45 start on Thursday 7th March 2024 in the car park of The Swan at Walton, 34 Main Street, Walton-on-Trent, Derbyshire DE12 8LZ.
