Overview

Starting in Tanworth-in-Arden, the walk passes through the churchyard where the singer-songwriter Nick Drake is buried. The walk crosses the Birmingham to Stratford railway line twice, passing by an old mill pond (now drained) in between. We then follow the Arden Way to Ullenhall, past the remains of Ullenhall old church on a hill above the village. The walk is over a mixture of fields, tracks and country lanes.
