We are the Sutton Coldfield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Welcome in the New Year with an easy 4.5 mile walk starting from the Olde Windmill pub in Gentleshaw.
We skirt Castle Ring on Cannock Chase before heading south and east on lanes (with pavements!) and field paths to arrive at the southern end of Gentleshaw Common. We cross the common and walk around Hollows Farm, back to Gentleshaw and the Olde Windmill for refreshments.
There are some stunning views, a couple of short, shallow hills amd 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.
