Overview

A little over 8 miles, passing a number of historic Grade II listed buildings. We start the walk at 'The Platform', walking along the disused Wolverhampton to Stourbridge railway line, also a section of the Monarch's Way, until we reach some stunning wall art on two of the bridges. We leave the line here and make our way to Mops Farm Bridge where we join the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal which we follow to Awbridge Bridge and Lock. We make our way to the pretty village of Trysull, before continuing to Bumblehole Lock and cottage - both Grade II listed. Close by, we pass Bratch Lock and Tollhouse and the Water Pumping station - all Grade II listed. It is then a short distance back to the start at 'The Platform'.
