Overview

Starting from the entrance to the Limbrick Sports Field we cross the canal to Red Bank then follow the paths through Duxbury Woods eventually reaching Coppull Hall Wood. We then cross the old mining area to join the bridleway near Eller Brook to reach the canal. After following the tow path we cross the fields to return to Limbrick.
