A circular walk around the outskirts of Lichfield, mainly following the Erasmus Darwin Walk except for a detour into Lichfield town centre to the Cathedral & Stowe Pool, re-joining the Erasmus Darwin Walk at Curborough fishing pools. The walk takes in residential areas, woodlands, fields, parkland and the restoration of the Lichfield canal.
A walk with beautiful views starting from Long Compton, climbing up to the Warwickshire-Oxfordshire border, before heading across country to Little Rollright. From Little Rollright the walk climbs again to the Rollright Stones, then across fields before descending back to Long Compton.
From Alcester town centre the walk joins the Heart of England Way, crossing the River Arrow, before passing through Oversley Wood & Oversley Green, rejoining the Heart of England Way back to Alcester. The walk is mainly pavements, woodland tracks and quiet farm lanes. One of the paths and one of the fields are likely to be muddy if wet – there are some gentle inclines but no steep ascents.
The walk takes in field paths, woodland edge, canal towpaths and some quiet country lanes – lovely rural scenery.
