New Hall Valley Walk

A circular walk of approximately four miles, focusing on the flora, fauna and points of heritage interest of Newhall Valley. We will walk along Plants Brook, turn uphill towards Walmley, walk along the top of the valley, then descend to New Hall Water Mill.

At New Hall Water Mill, a volunteer will guide us around the grounds and explain the Mill’s fascinating history.

Participants are advised to bring a drink and a snack, which we may consume at picnic tables within the grounds of the Mill. Toilets are available at the Mill. There is no charge for admission to the mill but a donation for the upkeep of the Mill would be much appreciated.

The event is an outdoor walk. We will be crossing uneven areas of fairly long grass, and a narrow footbridge accessed by several steps. Some of the paths are narrow and can be muddy. Stout, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Dogs cannot join this walk.

How to get there
Meet at the South Parade Car Park. If using public transport, from Sutton Parade turn into Newhall Walk (under metal archway with Tudor rose) and down towards B&M, TKMax and TGI Fridays. Walk past these shops, cross road at pedestrian lights, continue straight on and South Parade Car Park is approx 50 yards on the right, past Sutton Arts Theatre and opposite the Methodist Church.

Cost for 24 hours parking is £4.80. The machine takes coins or RingGo
