Route description
Leaves Landywood Station, cuts through small retail park before joining Hilton Lane. Crosses the A34 by The Star pub and then cuts into a footpath which goes briefly through woodland. It emerges into residential streets and makes its way north before you cross a style and then a field to emerge on the verge of the A5. There is no pedestrian crossing here so caution is advised. You can move further up the verge to use the central reservation. On the other side is a pavement which you walk along briefly before taking a series of footpaths which bring you out at the footbridge over the M6 Toll. The footpath on the other side is very well tended and despite being within 20 or so metres of the motorway at the start, it is actually a really pleasant walk. The path then goes around Kingswood Lake and a track takes you out to Washbrook Lane. You go straight ahead into the lane, where there is a short section of road walking with space to move into at the side if a vehicle approaches. After 100m you turn into a very well marked path through woodland. A series of paths bring you to the side of St James the Great Church in Norton Canes. After a couple of residential streets you join the pavement of the main road, which takes you the remaining way to the meeting point in Norton Canes.
