The options and variations are mind boggling -  how incredibly lucky we are to have so many miles of beautiful walking available to us.
So many paths yet to walk, so little time left

Don't overlook England's canal network, Beth - towpaths make very pleasant walking.
Oh yes! :D  I used to live almost on a canal in the West Mids and loved the walks around there. The Canal and River Trust website shows them all on a single map too    8)

I like your linked canal route, Stube, thanks  :)

I recall a good towpath walk from Birmingham, down the Grand Union Canal, then west on the North Stratford Canal, finally returning on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, a fine 36 mile loop.

..and you can walk through the Netherton Tunnel!

Thanks Richard, that sounds like an interesting option  8)  I used to live close to the canal in Stourbridge and have had a few lovely canal walks in that region. It would be nice to go back  :)
