Overview

Starting from Chase Road Corner car park, we will head along the Staffordshire Way passing Anson's Bank and then the Katyn War Memorial. From there our trail will be along the Heart Of England Way before turning left into the Sherbrook Valley and back onto the Staffordshire Way to Devil's Dumble. We will then head uphill into the forest to Haywood Slade and onto Marquis Drive for a lunch stop. Following that, we will head down Pepper Slade before descending into the valley back to Chase Road Corner.
