A pleasantly varied and fairly flat walk in the attractive countryside to the north and west of Alcester.
From Alcester we initially follow the little River Arrow all the way up to Coughton. From there, we head west, first on The Millennium Way and then on the Monarch's Way, through farmland and then some woods, all the way back to Alcester.
Bring refreshments for a lunch/snack break.
(see weblink below for a map of the route)
It is generally easy walking, on a mixture of field paths, tracks and quiet minor roads. Only a few stiles. One section of path is narrow and possibly a bit overgrown. Sheep and/or cattle may be present in a couple of fields. Some parts are likely to be muddy if the weather has been wet. Suitable for well-behaved dogs on leads.
