Jane W.
A delightful scenic walk on the north-western fringes of Cannock Chase featuring landscaped parkland, waterside meadows and open heathland, as well as the finest remaining area of traditional oakwood in the Chase. There's historic interest, too, as you pass Shugborough Hall, cross an ancient packhorse bridge and traverse part of a disused railway built during the First World War.
Good paths and tracks, including woodland and canal towpath. Ascent is made in three climbs spread within the walk.
Walk 16 OS Pathfinder Shropshire and Staffordshire Walks.
A moderate walk taken at a steady pace.
Milford Common has good parking £3.50 CASH ONLY.
Toilets may be available at the start of the walk and the end but none en route. Details to be confirmed.
No stiles or steps
Some sections may be muddy and some sections may be overgrown at this time of year, so good boots and you may like to bring poles. The route includes some stepping stones across a ford.
Please bring snacks, drinks and a packed lunch as this is a full day walk.
