🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾

As we set off from the Heart of the Shires Shopping Centre Car Park, the walk follows a track/road which has a slight incline up towards the kennels. There are fabulous views before we make our way into the quintessential village of Brockhall. We will see if the church is open, then continue on the walk before stopping for sweets. There is a short section of road walking before turning onto the towpath. We spot an unusual "art" exhibit before making our way back along the canal towards the start.

❓ ROUND-ROBIN QUESTION: Have you ever had an amazing charity shop find?
