Description
Follows the same basic route as Brolic One. Route given a major tidy and most importantly corrects the path leading up to Watling Street at SK 0676 0651 and the route to the exit of the McClean Way in Brownhills. Both changes absolutely essential if following the route from Lichfield

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

09 Feb 2024Another good Slow Ways. The route is easy to follow with little road walking. Starting in Brownhills along McClean Way, the old railway line from Lichfield to Walsall onto a short stretch of the Anglesey Branch of the Wyrley and Essington Canal. Then onto the roman road Watling Street (the A5) care needed when crossing. The descent from the A5 is a little bit of an issue but with care can be achieved. Then around the field to cross the old railway line were the footpath a little overgrown. Following on good paths through Hammerwich to Lichfield. Overall an enjoyable route.

01 May 2021A walk starting by the statue of Jigger, the Brownhills miner near shops and pubs of Brownhills. It takes you along an old railway, a canal, a roman road, through countryside to Lichfield passing through the village of Hammerwich (nearest settlement to where the Staffordshire Hoard was found). The final section in Lichfield takes you past a number of restaurants and pubs along with 15th century buildings.
