[1] From the main entrance of the Frank Jordan Centre in Lichfield Street, taking great care, cross the busy road and turn right. After about 100 metres there is a metal gate on the left from where a footpath leads through the grassy churchyard of St Michael and St Wulfrad. Take this path which passes to the left of the church and continue to a brick archway where there are three steps leading down to the road. Take great care because there is no footpath on this side of the road.
[2] Carefully cross the road and turn right. You will pass a row of terraced houses on the left hand side of the road. Immediately beyond house number 104 there is an alleyway. Turn left into the alleyway and follow the path down the slope. The path crosses over a brook and then continues along the side of the railway embankment until it reaches a road, Mill Street. A derelict flint mill is to be found just the other side of the railway bridge. If you have time, but taking great care because there is no pavement, turn right and go under the railway bridge to take a look at the mill which, at the time of writing, is in the process of being restored. Otherwise continue on the walk.
[3] Carefully cross Mill Street to the footpath on the other side and follow it to the left. Carefully cross the end of Millstone Court. Continue along the footpath and carefully cross the vehicle entrance of the filling station. Continue to the pedestrian crossing. Use the crossing safely to reach the footpath on the other side of Mill Street. At the junction with Christchurch Way and Mill Street, which is just at the end of the supermarket car park, turn left. As the road bends to the right, you will pass the former Stubbs Mill in the corner on the left hand side. This old mill is now a residential property.
[4] At the crossroads turn right using the pedestrian-controlled traffic lights to safely cross over the road and continue your walk along the High Street. The High Street retains some old-style lamp-posts. Pass two lamp-posts on the left of the Street and just before reaching the next lamp-post on the right, there is a narrow alleyway on the left. This is Adie's Alley. Notice the decorative plaque above the entrance. The entrance to the alley is just sufficiently wide to allow a wheelchair to pass. Follow Adie's Alley to reach the main road. At the main road, turn right and use the pedestrian-controlled crossing to cross safely to the other side of the road. Turn right. After 50 metres take the turn to the left and follow the road until it reaches a canal bridge.
[5] Cross over the canal bridge. To avoid a steep slope downhill, turn left and walk along the pavement a few metres to a small car park where you can join the tow path. Otherwise, turn right onto the towpath. When on the towpath turn right and walk back on yourself under the bridge alongside the canal lock. Take care as the path slopes steeply towards the canal. Continue along the towpath until you reach the Star public house. Continue past the public house and follow the towpath through the tunnel alongside the canal lock taking care as the path in this location slopes downhill and is cobbled. After 50 metres, there is a path to the right, which goes back on itself up a slight incline back to the main road. Take this path and at the road turn right.
[6] Stay on this side of the main road, cross the canal, take great care crossing Abbey Street and take the next turn on the right into Lichfield Street. This will take you back to The Frank Jordan Centre.
