Walsall Group of Ramblers has been around since 1992 and in that time we've introduced many people to the joys and benefits of walking with the Ramblers

This lovely walk is across quiet Warwickshire countryside, riverside, fields and lanes. From Wellesbourne we head to Charlecote, along the river Dene (with possible kingfisher sightings!) and walk past the grounds of Charlecote Park and onwards to Hampton Lucy. From Hampton Lucy we follow the Shakespeare’s Avon Way along Scar bank. There is a short uphill ascent to the top of Scar Bank, where there are magnificent views towards Warwick and the Welcombe Hills and we can enjoy a welcome coffee break to enjoy the views. The remainder of the walk is across rolling fields and lanes. We will head to the lovely village of Hampton Lucy and have a lunch stop at the cathedral like village church of Hampton Lucy, St Peter Ad Vincula. Please note church opening times vary and it may be closed. This is an impressive village church with magnificent stained-glass windows built in the 1820s. Joint walk with Sandwell Ramblers and Wolverhampton Ramblers.
We leave the meeting point in Walsall promptly at 08:45am. The start time is the time the actual walk is due to start.
We regret we cannot allow dogs other than assistance dogs on weekend Walsall Group walks.
Personal medication, e.g. asthma inhalers and angina sprays, must be carried by the walkers themselves.
