Join the IWA Lichfield Branch for a guided walk “Shuttington and the Coventry Canal.”
This is an easy 5 mile walk with 3 stiles. There is one gentle climb at the end of the walk, otherwise on level ground.
We first head across fields to pick up a green track that leads us to Statfold Farm with its Mease Valley Railway. We then head in a south-westerly direction towards Amington. Shortly after crossing the railway, we join the canal by bridge 65 and follow the towpath as far as Alvecote Marina. Shortly thereafter we walk along a footpath by the river Anker. We cross the river Anker by Shuttington Bridge and then proceed uphill across fields back to our starting point.
Meet 10:30 for a 10:45 start on Thursday 9th May 2024 in the car park of The Wolferstan Arms, Main Road, Shuttington, Tamworth, Staffordshire B79 0DP. Contact Clive Walker on [email protected]
