“Shugborough and the Trent & Mersey Canal”. This is an easy 3 ½ mile walk with no stiles, on the towpath, on the pavement, and on footpaths.
Leaving the public house, we access the towpath and follow it in the direction of Little Haywood and Colwich as far as bridge 72. After crossing the river Sow at Weetman’s Bridge we walk alongside the river, soon entering the Shugborough Estate, where we follow public and permissive paths giving us access to some of the less-frequented parts and features of this large country house. We return via the medieval Essex bridge, and from there under an arch back to The Clifford Arms.
Meet 17:00 for a 17:15 start on Wednesday 7th June 2023 in the car park of The Clifford Arms, Main Road, Great Haywood, Staffs. ST18 0SR.

NB: Please reserve a place on this walk with Clive, especially if you wish to eat afterwards at The Clifford Arms. This is because they only have limited availability for diners. In order to assist their catering, we will place our orders for food before we set off on the walk.
