We are the Sutton Coldfield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A moderate walk of 7.5 miles, starting from Seven Springs car park, on undulating forest and heathland tracks and paths on the north-western side of the Chase, and a section of the Trent & Mersey Canal towpath. On leaving the car park, we start a gradual ascent of Beggar's Hill, with good views at the top. We then descend through Haywood Warren and Haywood Slade, passing the rampart used as a rifle range in WW1 and the sand and gravel quarry. There is a short section of road walking (care needed) before reaching Wolseley Park. Lunch stop is at the Wolseley Arms pub, after which we join the towpath for about a mile, then cross Weetman's Bridge and return to the car park.
Guests please contact the walk leader if you would like to join this walk.
We are sorry, but only assistance dogs are permitted on our walks.
Meet at Wyndley Swimming Pool car park 08:45 for car sharing. Directions to Seven Springs car park: from Lichfield follow the A51 for about 10 miles. At the roundabout, follow the A513 for about a mile. At the Wolseley Arms roundabout, turn left and in 0.2 miles (opposite Weetman's Bridge) turn left up a track to the car park. Beware potholes!
