Overview

An impressive ruined castle and a couple of fine churches are the focal points of the walk. We enjoy views of The Lawley as we walk across the rolling countryside towards a Forestry England plantation before ascending to the summit of Causeway Wood with another chance to soak in the wonderful vista. We return to Acton Burnell across fields and along lanes taking a detour to Langley Chapel.
