Time
10:15am
Meet 10:15 for a 10:30 start on Thursday 18th May 2023 in the car park of The Middle Bell, 33 Main Street, Barton-under-Needwood, Staffs. DE13 8AA.
This is an easy 5 mile walk on even ground with 6 stiles, on public footpaths, pavements, and the towpath.
We first walk through this pleasant village before continuing southwards on a green lane to the hamlet of Wychnor. If time permits, and the church is open, we may visit this historic building.
On reaching the river section of the canal we turn left towards Wychnor lock. We finally leave the canal by bridge 40 and enter Efflinch. From there we continue on a pavement back to Barton under Needwood, passing several impressive buildings along the way.
