Overview

A walk from the Queens Head pub in Meriden north to the Gospel Oak, where John Wesley (the founder of Methodism) would occasionally preach to his followers. There is a plaque on the tree, although the tree itself has seen better days! Farmland, some tracks and roads (minor) are traversed.
