This 7½-mile walk is based around the northern part of Cannock Chase and the adjacent Shugborough Estate.
Roughly two-thirds of the circular route is on flat ground, and the remainder is on undulating heathland. There is one short section of road without a pavement, where we will need to take particular care. There are however no stiles, the walking is generally easy, but the route on Cannock Chase may be muddy in parts. There is also a stepping-stone ford to traverse!
Please aim to arrive between 10:30 and 10:45, ready to depart at 11:00.
The nearest train station is Rugeley, or alternatively Lichfield. I will be driving through both these towns/cities on my way to Great Haywood, so please let the walk coordinator Clive Walker know in advance if you need collecting from one of these stations.
