Route leaves Alrewas along Main Street with its cafes, pubs and shops. It crosses the A38 at a "suggested crossing" and then crosses the Cross Country Railway Line at a level crossing. A lane leads you to a footpath into the National Memorial Arboretum which you briefly walk inside the grounds of before leaving in order to cross the River Tame. The next section is almost solid road walking, first along a short section of the A513 before turning into Croxall Road which you follow through the villages of Croxall and Edingale. At Edingale you pick up a footpath which takes you by and over the River Mease before arriving in Harlaston, the site of the only pub and post office/shop of the journey. Shortly after leaving Harlaston you turn left into a field from which you follow footpaths and tracks across fields for most of the way. This is the most scenic section of the walk. Having crossed the B5493 you get the first proper views of Tamworth. The paths are well marked and you soon find yourself next to the River Anker just before passing Tamworth Railway Station via two railway bridges. The route to the meeting place is straight and direct pavement walking from there
