This is an easy 4-mile circular walk with no stiles, on footpaths, across fields, on country roads and along the towpath. We first follow the Way for the Millennium, a disused railway track connecting the towns of Shrewsbury and Stafford, before traversing a farm growing strawberries in polytunnels. From there we carry on towards the hamlet of Upper Cowley where we join the Shropshire Union Canal (known as the "Shroppie") at bridge 32.
After passing through the short Cowley tunnel, we leave the canal by bridge 34 and walk back through the village to our starting point.
Meet at 10:45 for 11:00 start on Thursday 4th September 2025 at The Acorn (formerly The Royal Oak), Newport Road, Gnosall Heath, Staffordshire ST20 0BL.
