Earlswood's lakes and woods (PT)

The Earlswood Lakes were built to supply water to the Stratford Canal. Together with the nearby woods, they now afford attractive easy walking. This short, gentle 5-mile walk takes in all three lakes and the woods, and includes a visit to Manor Farm Craft Centre (cafe, toilets) if you want it. Park at the free car park off Malthouse Lane, Earlswood (OS grid ref* SP 111738), or take the train to The Lakes halt on the Birmingham - Stratford line. Map

 

A walk on Shropshire's (slightly) wilder side

This walk is a good way west in Shropshire, where the hills are higher and it gets just that little bit wilder. It's a very varied walk, with woodland and parkland as well as ridges giving excellent views to the Long Mynd, Caer Caradoc, and Brown Clee Hill. Park at Aston Munslow village car park (OS grid ref* SO 512864), on the B4368 Bridgnorth to Craven Arms road. The walk is nine miles and not particularly strenuous.  Map
