3. Cross Fairway, descend the steps to a kissing gate and walk along the river bank until you reach a footbridge.
4. Use the bridge to go over the fence. Then turn left across a field to another bridge, this one over the River Penk. Beyond this, follow a line of hawthorn trees on your right to two stiles on either side of a track, to reach the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal.
5. Turn right along the canal towpath, go under the railway bridge and Baswich Bridge. After about 200m turn sharp right onto a footpath/cyclepath.
6. Cross the footbridge and go over the River Penk again. Continue straight on round a water pumping station and under the railway. You will soon reach the road near the St Leonard's Works.
7. Turn left, to return to St. Leonard's estate or cross the road and walk beside the cycle track to Fairway Bridge where you rejoin the riverside path and walk back into town.
