Overview

From Malpas we cross fields to Bradley Brook and then onwards to cross the A41 to join the Sandstone Trail at Chads Farm. We leave the Sandstone Trail at Cholmondeley Road and have a short section of road before crossing the A41 again. A short stretch of a disused railway line and we head back to Malpas across more open fields. I have walked this a few times and rarely seen another human being. Please bring refreshments for coffee and lunch stops.
