Overview

Track and lane down to Beech and on to Swynnerton. Then north east to Upper and Lower Hatton passing the Old Pumping Station onto Common Lane. This takes us back through Nursery Common and Harley Thorns to the start.

A lot of the walk is along tracks through woodland. We do cross fields but there is only one stile! There is some road walking so care will be needed.

Directions to Hanchurch Woods: Go along the A500 to the roundabout just before the M6 junction 15. Take the road signposted A519, Eccleshall. Go through the lights and take the second right, signposted Stableford. NB: the road is very narrow. After about a mile, turn left opposite a landscaper / woodyard. The access to the carpark is full of quite deep potholes. We’re parking on the first car parking area on the right.
