South Staffordshire Railway Walk

Like a small channel of the countryside cut through the suburbs. Greenery, birdsong and the occasional bit of wildlife holding the hum of traffic at arms length. Stay on it long enough and it transports you to green fields and blue skies between the urban sprawl and farmers fields nearby...

Nice bike ride with two station cafes which was closed. We started in Wolverhampton and cycled the 12 miles or so to Fey Pool. The start was very good terrain, but nearing the end it turned into rubble and mud, it was obviously being used as a scramble track by the locals. Not bad but the last 2 miles need sorted big time.

Nice place to go for a walk during the heatwave we went there in search of a nice walk in the shade 😎
Nice, pretty straight level ground, you can walk a few miles without realising.
This track goes some distance, we've done it in sections.

Lovely level walk with friends and dogs. Very popular at weekends so can be busy with walkers, cyclists, joggers and the odd horse rider.

Nice safe route to cycle with the kids. If walking, can get muddy in parts so make sure you don't wear your best shoes!

Great for walking the dogs, bike riding or even a run! Very picturesque. Would rate higher if not for the dodgy men that lurk there recently.

Brilliant walk, very muddy though in the winter (obviously!) Amazing artwork underneath the bridges 👌👌

On the edge of the city of Wolverhampton in part this is a wealth of wildlife and opportunity for excercise, relaxation, stimulation, mental wellbeing. Over 50% of British roosting bat species, 70+ bird species, deer, badgers and more wildflowers than anyone could think might exist in an urban location including wild orchids. Stretching from Aldersley, past Tettenhall (Cupcake Lane café is excellent) Compton, Castlecroft and onwards to Womborne (café here also) this is a well maintained path that duly deserves it's position amongst a top 10 railway walks list.
Free to access at multiple points, 24/7 for ambles, rambles dog walks or cycling.
