This six-mile ramble takes in Dunstall Hall and Church, nestling in the gentle rolling countryside of East Staffordshire.

The route starts at Barton Marina and is an easy route, but does feature a few stiles and potential muddy spots.

At the end of the walk there will be the option of a pub meal. Please register on this link. Bookings close on August 8th.
