We are the Sutton Coldfield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular walk of around 7 miles, starting from Station Road, Shackerstone. The route follows peaceful country paths through fields and woodland and a section of the Leicester Round - minor undulations only. We pass through the villages of Barton in the Beans, Carlton and Market Bosworth (probably for the lunch stop), with no stiles and very little road walking.
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.
