THE new long distance walking trail,
the National Forest Way, will be launched on 17th May.
The trail, which has
been five years in the making, uses public rights of way and permissive paths
to take walkers on a journey of discovery through the length and breadth of The
National Forest.
The 75-mile trail extends from the
National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to Beacon Hill Country Park in
Leicestershire, and can be walked west to east or east to west. The trail is
divided into 12 stages with directional leaflets available for each stage.
Walkers can dip in for a day, walk for the weekend or take on the whole 75
miles in one go.
Says Sophie Churchill, Chief
Executive, National Forest Company: ‘It's suitable for experienced and new
walkers alike, and is full of surprises. I “test walked” it and loved getting a
sense of the whole of the forest – the varied and unexpected aspects of this
transformed landscape, all framed by woodland. The trail leads through young
and ancient woodlands, market towns and the industrial heritage of this
changing landscape at the heart of the Midlands.’
