'Based on rights of way and canal tow paths which would have been used as routes to work by local miners, iron workers and farmers. The Trail has opened up routes between villages and being located in the area of Pelsall and Great Wyrley it is easily accessible to people from the Black Country and South Staffordshire.'

'This walk takes you between two Staffordshire villages and uses paths, bridleways and tow paths with less than 850 metres of its thirteen and half kilometres on roads, all of which are quiet country lanes.'

'The walks range from 3.5 miles up to 12 miles for the more seasoned walker and explore areas around Brewood, Codsall, Kinver, Penkridge, Perton and Wombourne.'

'Starts at Castlecroft and runs for five and a half miles [about 8.85 km] to Wall Heath passing through other villages such as Wombourne where the Railway Café is located en route ... There are a number of walks of varying distances, which make up the series of walks based on the South Staffordshire Railway Walk. Routes contain a mixture of lanes, tracks and footpaths.'
