Overview

An easy walk of around 5 miles with 4 stiles. Starting from the War Memorial in Alrewas, we join the Trent & Mersey Canal towpath as far as Wychnor, then head along a tarmacked lane to Wychnor Park Country Club - coffee stop. Joining the Millennium Way, we cross fields and the River Trent to rejoin the canal towpath at Alrewas as far as Bagnall Lock. We leave the towpath, cross fields and the park to return to Main Street. Refreshments available at the George & Dragon pub.
