23/12/17 - The Bell at Trysull

Distance - 3.75 Miles
Geocaches - 3
Walk Inspiration - Walk 29, Best Pub Walks in South Staffordshire


Mrs M didn't look too enamored when I answered the question "where are we going walking today" with Wolverhampton.

She needn't have worried.  There's some stunning countryside in South Staffordshire and Trysull is a pretty little village with plenty of interest.

Not least, the 2018 Good Beer Guide Pub, The Bell, our starting point and first walk from this guidebook.

In no time at all, we are out into the Countryside for some very pleasant walking.

This is an easy walk, perfect for a Saturday morning, leaving the afternoon free to listen to the Albion get relegated.  We walk along quiet lanes, over the Staffordshire/Worcs Canal and return along a disused railway that once ran from Wolvo to Kingswinford.

Soon back in the village to admire the architecture - first the church with some fine stone carvings over the door and then the pub, opposite.

The local beers were Holdens and an unexpected Bathams.  Perfect pint, as always.

The guide contains a further 29 walks in the area.  2018 will be busy if they're all as good as this one.
