We are the Sutton Coldfield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A moderate, generally flat circular walk of 6.5 miles around the Tamworth countryside along well-defined paths. The walk starts by crossing fields towards Tamworth, before entering a new housing estate, then down to the River Anker. We will follow the route of the river towards Shuttington, passing through Amington Hall Farm, then taking the path leftwards at Laundry Cottage. We go past Statfold Barn Farm and across the B5493, where we start our return to Wigginton. We will pass Keeper's Cottage and Syerscote Barn Farm, before crossing the railway line as we approach Wigginton.
There are a number of low, solid stiles on the route.
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.
