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

We would love you to join our walk this week that sets off in this canalside village and follows public footpaths and lanes to Lapley and then along the Staffordshire Way to the canal that will lead us to Brewood. We return around Belvide reservoir and through fields and bridleways to Wheaton Aston. This is a lovely rural area but is cut across by the A5 which we will need to cross. The walk is mostly flat but is inclined to be somewhat muddy if we have had rain. Only 2 stiles this week!
As usual we will have short stop for coffee and a snack after the first hour or so, then we will have a longer break for eating our packed lunches. There are no facilities at the start or throughout the walk.
Would guest walkers please contact the leader so we can look out for you.
We are sorry, but only assistance dogs are permitted on our walks.
For our regular walkers there is no meeting at Hednesford this week, unless you decide to sort this out among yourselves!
From Cannock or M6 J12, take the A5 westwards and cross the A449 at Gailey island. Keep on the A5 until after approximately 1.3 miles you reach the 50mph zone where there is a cross roads at the Ivy House. Turn right here then take the first left up Lapley Lane. Continue for 2.5 miles then turn left to Wheaton Aston and follow the road into the village for about a mile. There is a finger post on the right pointing to the village car park, (see photo). Turn left here into Hawthorne road and the car park is on the left.
