Staffordshire circular

Length of route:
38 km (23 mi)
Suitable for:
Walking
Details:

Shobnall Leisure Centre, Burton on Trent, is a convenient and free place to park. The first part of this route takes the Trent and Mersey Canal for some pleasant and easy walking. It picks up the Millennium Way, which is waymarked, but some careful navigation is needed. We part company with the MW just through Yoxall. Cross fields to Hadley End, then road to Hoarcross, then Newchurch. More navigation across fields to skirt Hanbury and Tutbury. If you have time it's worth taking a detour to the crater at Fauld, the result of a large accidental explosion during the war. Enjoy the view of Tutbury Castle, then head south to Anslow and back to Shobnall
