Overview

A moderate, pleasant 8.5 mile walk across Warwickshire countryside, incorporating fields, lanes, the River Blythe and the Lake at Barston, with interesting features along the way. Temple Balsall itself has a long history. The walk is mostly flat with around a dozen stiles.

As it is the first Sunday of the month, we will be able to enjoy tea and homemade cakes in the Old Hall supplied by the ladies of Temple Balsall at very reasonable prices at the end of our walk.
