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

On 20th October 2025 a new greenway between Lichfield and Chasewater was opened on the track bed of the South Staffordshire railway. As we leave Lichfield we join the path, which has a hard core stone base. Recommend boots with good ankle support. For approximately 3 miles we follow the track bed until turning off into Hammerwich for a stop at St John the Baptist church. It's a bit muddy along one particular part of the path to the church. We head back over fields and lanes towards Lichfield. There are approximately 4 stiles, one could be a little tricky to get over. Local public toilets are available at the start of the walk, if needed.
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.
Please be aware that it is Remembrance Sunday which may impact on traffic and particular roads maybe closed. Meet at Wyndley Swimming Pool car park 08:45 for car sharing. Directions: From the A38 continue until the Swinfen Interchange (A5206). On London Road head into Lichfield on Upper St John Street. This turns into St Johns Street and via left onto The Friary. Take the first left at the roundabout onto Monk Close. Ideally park on the right. However, there is another car park further down Monk Close. Both car parks charge £2 all day on a Sunday.
