The walk incorporates sections of the Millennium Way, where you will be guided by the distinctive black and white waymarkers. This is walk 42 from the 44 composing the Millenium Way.

Wood End Railway Station, Rail Trails

Departure from Stratford-on-Avon (Warwickshire)

This circular route from Wood End station takes you through some beautiful Warwickshire countryside and the picture perfect village of Tanworth-in-Arden.

Earlswood to Wythall Railway Station, Rail Trails

The Lakes to Earlswood Railway Station, Rail Trails

Departure from Stratford-on-Avon (Warwickshire)

This is a scenically varied walk between The Lakes and Earlswood railway stations. You’ll take in all three reservoirs making up Earlswood Lakes - and pass through Clowes Wood & New Fallings Coppice.

Clowes Wood and Terry's Pool from Wythall Station

Departure from Wythall CP (Worcestershire)

A walk starting and returning to Wythall Station, with opportunities to explore further. Fifty species of birds breed here in the woods. Wildflowers to be seen include bluebell, lily of the valley, cow-wheat, and bilberry. The Earlswood Lakes were constructed in the 1820s to provide water to the Stratford upon Avon canal. The labour force included prisoners of war from the Napoleonic wars.

Danzey Railway Station, Rail Trails

Departure from Stratford-on-Avon (Warwickshire)

This circular walk will take you through farmland and around the privately owned Mockley Wood, one of the larger woodlands in this part of Warwickshire. In the springtime, be sure to peer into the wood and see the unending, sweet smelling carpet of bluebells. Keep your eyes peeled for the rather incongruous rusting truck hidden in the undergrowth on the return leg - a local landmark!

Wythall to Shirley Railway Stations, Rail Trails

Departure from Wythall CP (Worcestershire)

This trail is a linear walk between the stations of Wythall and Shirley. A wander through the pasture and meadows around the outer Shirley suburbs of Major’s Green and Hollywood (once a wood with some holly in it – no connection with Los Angeles!). Eyes peeled for the Iron Age hillfort!
If spending a little time in Wythall, check out the extensive collections of buses and battery electric vehicles at the Transport Museum or explore the 37 acres of Wythall Park. On the trail you’ll pass the Berry Mound Iron Age Hill Fort and nearby Berry Mound Pastures, a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
