Park Lime Pits and Walsall's Canal
From the car park proceed over Longwood Lane, now on the Beacon Way, through a lay-by and on to the Longwood Bridge. Cross it to descend left to the tow path of the Rushall Canal. Go right (southwest) and walk past the canal junction, now off the Beacon Way, along the side of the very straight part of the canal.
After 1,100yds (1km) you will come to Moat Bridge (do not cross). Turn right and continue along a well-defined track through trees and between playing fields. The path arcs left to the end of King George Avenue. Keep ahead past another cricket pitch before swinging right to a municipal depot and parking area. Cross the car park, heading for an exit on the opposite side by a dog waste bin. Join a tarmac path, keeping to the left side of a stream. After about 700yds (640m), turn right over a stone footbridge, and then left along the right-hand side of a children’s play area up to reach a tarmac footway.
