Overview

Starting from the village we will briefly head along a track parallel to the M54 motorway before turning onto the Monarch's Way which takes us across the countryside passing the ruins of White Ladies Priory and onto Boscobel House where we will stop for lunch. Later we will rejoin the Monarch's Way heading into Bishops Wood, with an option for a quick pub stop at The Royal Oak, and then a bit of a country lane walk before heading off the beaten track back to Tong.
