Overview

An 8.2 miles mostly flat walk. Starting at the Stourbridge Glass Museum shop and café we join the Stourbridge canal that used to service the industry. We leave the town for beautiful verdant countryside joining up with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal. The final part of our journey takes us across fields and through chestnut woods. There is the delightful Roe Deer pub at 5 miles and there should be time to visit the free museum Red House Glass Cone should you wish at the end.
