Largely paved paths, pavements and canal towpaths through residential streets, industrial estates, a nature reserve, and a former-railway path. Route follows a section of the Monarch’s Way long-distance footpath. Well-served public transport returns to the start. Footpath across wasteland between Walsall and Wolverhampton is ill-kempt with fly-tipping; gap-in-fence section near the mound is tricky to navigate.
