5ish mile Canal Walk to Wilmcote and back with optional lunch afterwards

It should be a better temperature for walking by Tuesday 🤞 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 refreshments. If anyone would like lunch we can go to the Bell at Shottery after the walk (as long as they have enough room for us). Please leave a note in the comments if you would like lunch at The Bell, so we know how many people to book a table for.
By signing up for this walk you agree to be responsible for your own health and safety.
Sorry - no dogs or children please.
