Overview

Starting from Shobnall Leisure Centre Centre we cross the footbridge over the A38 and head up a steep hill up to the reservoir. After that, it’s an easy walk along field and woodland paths, tracks and quiet roads to Anslow village and back. Weather permitting there are extensive views over Burton and the Trent and Dove Valleys. Expect a few stiles and some mud.
