An interesting walk through the countryside of East Staffordshire. Starting from St Peter's Church in the picturesque village of Marchington we walk down Green Lane and on country lanes, tracks and fields, crossing the busy A515 road and on to Draycott in the Clay. We re-cross the main road, proceed up Marchington Cliff to the tree line and on to Forest Side Farm where we enter the attractive farming area of Marchington Woodlands, returning to our start point via Stock Lane.
This is a fairly flat walk, total ascent only 688ft. Terrain includes country lanes, tracks and rights of way over fields, some of which are rarely used. Very little road walking. The countryside is attractive and quiet with views from Marchington Cliff. The pace will be relaxed with stops for morning coffee and lunch.
