Overview

This walk takes in the countryside to the south west of Balsall Common, crossing farm land with views of open countryside.  At this time of year there may be some muddy stretches that could be heavy-going or the ground could be hard and icy so walking poles will be useful if you have them.  There are also some stiles to navigate.
