Overview

A leisurely to moderate circular walk.  Mostly quiet lanes, fields and towpath.

Park at Hockley Heath Recreation Ground Car Park - on the B4439, B94 6HH

We loop through Lapworth, (twice actually!) and then visit the Obelisk before returning to Hockley Heath.

If we fancy coffee / snacks afterwards we are parked close to the Wharf Inn, Hockley Heath
