A moderate walk of around 5.5 miles taking in the countryside around Dosthill towards Tamworth Castle. The walk starts from Dosthill Park and follows the public footpath towards Fazeley bridge. From there the walk goes through a housing estate onto the Coventry Canal and continues to the junction of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. The walk then follows good tracks into Tamworth Castle grounds where there will be a break allowing ramblers to access a cafe and toilets. After the break the walk follows the River Anker under Anker Drive and past the Snowdome onto Peelers Way. The route continues along Peelers Way  to the Coventry Canal and Fazeley Bridge and back along the public footpath to the start of the walk.
