Walsall Group of Ramblers has been around since 1992 and in that time we've introduced many people to the joys and benefits of walking with the Ramblers
Starting from Caverswall & Cookshill Village Hall we will follow the lanes in the direction of Handley Banks. It's then on to Ward Hill Farm and New Hill Farm before turning into Dilhorne Wood where we will pause for elevenses at the railway platform. We then continue through the woods towards Dilhorne, along New Road for a short distance before picking up the footpaths back to Caverswall. This walk is over varied terrain and includes country lanes, paths and tracks. There are about 20 stiles on route and given the time of year it may be muddy in places. If there is a large number of people on the walk, we may split into two groups with one group going clockwise and the other anti-clockwise along the described route, both meeting at the same point for elevenses.
We leave the meeting point in Walsall promptly at 08:45am. The start time is the time the actual walk is due to start.
Personal medication, e.g. asthma inhalers and angina sprays, must be carried by the walkers themselves.
All walkers should carry an ICE card or a contact number in case of emergency.
Booking is not necessary for this walk.
York's Bridge on the B4154 between Pelsall and the A5 Turf Island will be closed on the date of this walk.
After the walk, light refreshments will be made available; please bring your own packed lunches.
