An easy, flat six-mile ramble starting at the Red Lion in Hopwas. We join the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal, following it south to the acqueduct over the River Tame. Leaving the canal, we follow the River Tame north almost into the centre of Tamworth. We then head east, following the Flood Relief Channel, with great views of Tamworth Castle, to join a lane and then the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal again to return to Hopwas and welcome refreshments in the Red Lion. There are only two stiles.
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.
