Walk Detail: An 8.5 mile walk starting at the Heart of England Conference Centre near Fillongley. The walk initially takes us through the unique grounds of the Conference Centre, past woodland to join the Heart of England Way at Birchley Hays Wood. The Way then follows pasture land over to Meriden Shafts and Eaves Green. From there we head east over fields towards Harvest Hill and Hawkes End, before heading back to Corley Moor.

There are short spells of road walking, but the majority of the route is over fields and country paths. Corley and its immediate area is quite equestrian, so there may be horses in some of the fields on our route. There were no bother at all when the route was checked. Also please note that there is a guard dog, safely behind a high fence, along a very short stretch of the route, but was quite loud when we went past.
