With 7 stiles and the occasional boggy field, it’s worth putting some boots on for this gentle ramble from Wrockwardine Church.
Wellington 360 – Wrockwardine Walks – Allscott – Route 3
A short walk from the charming willage of Wrockwardine
Walk directions
Start
Start from the church, going slightly downhill towards the War Memorial and take the lane to the right of the Old Smithy, then shortly after, up a small bank on the left and cross a stile into a grass field.
Step 2
Cross the field for about 100 yards (90 metres) to a double stile into a large descending field. The path will take you directly to the far left corner of this field, to a gate out onto a busy road (beware of traffic!).
Step 3
Turn left and follow the road under the railway bridge, then take the first lane on the right towards Allscott. After about 350 yards (320 metres) turn left up a short grass drive immediately before Redwood House.
Step 4
Go through the gate into the field and follow the hedge on your right. As you approach some tall trees, pass through into the field on your right and follow the hedge now on your left to a gate into a private residence, and out through their driveway. On the road, turn left towards the Plough Inn and at the main road, cross straight over.
Step 5
The path heads straight across the field, up a small bank to a stile, then over the railway line (beware of trains!) to another stile into the next field. Continue in the same direction across a larger field for about 400 yards (365 metres) until you have a hedge on your right. Follow the hedge until you find a double stile over a small bridge into the next field.
Step 6
Follow the edge of the field keeping the hedge on your left, then over a stile into narrow passage and over another stile onto a lane. Turn left and follow the lane back to the war memorial and up to the church.
