A 10 mile day hiking trip with and my partner Anne one weekend in October 2010 from Brewood, Staffordshire, England. After parking the car in Brewood, off Stafford Street (grid ref SJ885089) we set off on our circular route in a wide anti-clockwise direction. Initially, we were hiking in a south west direction towards Chillington Hall and Langley Lawn Farm. After that we went south around Big Wood and over the M54 Motorway to Codsall Wood. Next we went east, skirting Codsall until we again hit the M54 close to Upper Hattons. We hiked under the motorway bridge and connected with the Shropshire Union Canal. To complete the trip we hiked northwards for about 2 miles along the canal until we returned to Brewood. This was fairly varied day hiking trip and even though there were a few long straight sections, they were still quite interesting.
We feel that his was a moderate to hard day hike because it was over 10 miles. The route was more or less flat with a few slight inclines, along solid trails, farm segments, and a few country lanes and roads. Most of route was clear and well marked. However, there were a few times we had to search for path signposts. We feel that it was a very good route for exploring the Brewood to Codsall area in South Staffordshire. Brewood is a lovely little village, well worth a visit. Hiking this area provided us with some lovely opportunities for taking photographs.
