Berkswell from Meriden using the Millennium Way

Very overgrown in places. Farmers fields with chest high crops with tiny trail walks. I did this walk in shorts and to say my legs got bloody and torn to shreds would be an understatement. A few paths after Berkswell are overgrown and covered in nettles. I would strongly suggest leggings or hiking trousers, or detour around the paths (trust me you'll see them). Loads of farm animals birds and wildlife. I wouldn't say it's dog friendly considering the amount of stiles and farm land requiring a dog to be on a leash. The highlight is Berkswell. It's such a beautiful village with loads of history. It had a few cafes and a pub so refreshments wouldn't be a problem.
