We are the Chase & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We are starting out from Church Stretton through the Cunnery to the reservoir and then we follow Townbrook Valley onto the Long Mynd. We will walk along to Pole Cottage for our coffee break then make our way to Pole Bank trig point - the highest point on the Long Mynd. We descend to pass the Shooting Box and a Tumulus after which we make our final climb up Haddon Hill. This is our lunch stop and has great views on a clear day. After lunch we take a gradual contour to descend to the golf course and walk through to Cardingmill Valley and then through quiet streets to our start point.
The walk is labelled as strenuous but should be only moderate plus for most of our regular walkers. Bring plenty of drinks and food and walking poles if you use them.
After the walk we usually find a local pub for well-deserved refreshment.
Hednesford Station Car Park, 46 Anglesey Street, Hednesford, Cannock WS12 1AA (or 1AB apparently?). Meet here for car sharing and a prompt 8:30 a.m. departure. Suggested contribution £5.
We will be parking in Easthope Street car park by the Co-op. Access is round the corner in Lion Street. From your home location join the M54 to Shrewsbury.

At the traffic lights turn right onto Sandford Avenue B4371 and second left into Easthope Road. The car park is on the right. Toilets available in car park (paying at our last visit).
