Wolverhampton Loop via Monarch's Way
David Dixon · reviewed over 4 years ago
fantastic trail..pretty much flat for most parts..plenty of countryside, some canal stretches and some town walking.. the paths are a good mixture .there are however points on the trail that are inaccessible, which are where you join the Birmingham/ Wolverhampton canal at Coseley...also at Wednesfield industrial est, the trail is inaccessible due to a locked gate...there is also a tree across the path as you leave the Merry Hill area, which was quite a difficult climb over..overall I found this walk most satisfying...
