5ish mile Canal Walk to Wilmcote and back stopping at the Mary Arden for lunch

We'll park in the Stratford Parkway railway station carpark at 10.50 ready to meet by the railway ticket machine to start the walk at 11.00. This is a pay and display carpark costing £1.00 all day. Please drive right down to the railway station end, as the walk will begin from there.
This pretty walk takes us alongside the canal to Wilmcote where we will stop at the pub for snack/refreshments (menu link below):

The walk is reasonably flat with no stiles. As always, please wear appropriate footwear. 3 hours is a guesstimate, but if you don't want to stop at the pub, you can easily walk back the way we came.
By signing up for this walk you agree to be responsible for your own health and safety.
Sorry - no dogs or children.
