Please note that this event has been cancelled.

We had planned an easy five mile walk across farmland, footpaths, country lanes and towing path along the Shropshire Union Canal at Brewood.

There are no stiles. Leaving the centre of the award-winning town we proceed past the church and cross the canal at Hyde Mill Lane, where we join the Staffordshire Way heading southwards.

We first diagonally cross the long avenue to Chillington Hall before eventually turning east towards the hamlet of Park Lane. Here we turn northwards, and soon re-join the avenue of Chillington Hall in some woods.

This Lower Avenue brings us down to the Shropshire Union Canal at an ornate bridge, and we then follow the towpath northwards, first in a deep cutting and later an embankment, back to our starting point in Brewood.

Our walks are currently for members only due to government restrictions and pre-registration is required. Walks will be divided into separate groups of 6 people setting off at different times. Contact the walk leader well in advance to reserve your place.

Meet at 10:15 for a 10:30 am start outside the Lion Hotel in the centre of the village at Marketplace in Brewood.
