Woodseaves Walks 1 - 4, are all circular walks that pass by "The Green" and they can be combined in any number and any order to produce a range of walks varying in length from 1.5 miles to 7.5 miles.
[1] Starting from the village crossroads, walk towards High Offley using the pavement on the left-hand side of the road.
(A) High Offley Road. Prior to the building of the Council Houses in the early fifties and before the arrival of the senior citizens' bungalows or the housing estates of Barn Common and Glebefields, in the sixties, this was a quiet country lane with neat hedges and rough verges. As you walk down the pavement, you pass some older property that formed a small community long before piped water arrived in the district. Those who lived here then obtained their water from a well in Well Alley, which runs between High Offley Road and Back Lane.
Pass, in turn, the end of Glebefields cul-de-sac, the entrance to the village hall and the end of Blackberry Way. At the point where the pavement comes to an end, Back Lane joins the High Offley Road from the right.
(B) The house built into the corner of High Offley Road and Back Lane is the former Wesleyan Chapel; notice that the date 1844 is still displayed on the front of the building.
Turn left to leave the High Offley Road and follow the lane to The Green. At the T-junction, turn right and continue along the lane to re-join the High Offley Road. On the opposite side of High Offley Road and slightly to the right, there is a footpath sign and a stile.
[2] Go over the stile and enter a narrow field with hedges on both sides. Where the field opens into a larger field, there is a wicket gate in the hedge on the right. Go through the gate and follow the edge of the field with the hedge on your left. Keep as close to the hedge as you can but avoid the rough ground. Take care not to step into a rabbit hole. Follow the hedge to the field corner where there is another stile.
[3] Cross the stile.
(C) The view to the left (north-west) sweeps from Bishop's Wood across to the Maer Hills and Swynnerton Old Park. If the visibility is good you can see the former windmill at Croxton.
Straight ahead, the ground dips and then rises again to Knightley Eaves Farm. In the dip there is a cross-hedge with some large trees in it. A hedge descends from each side of the farm to the cross-hedge. Where the right hand-hedge meets the cross-hedge in the dip, there is a stile.
Walk across the field down the dip to the stile in the hedge at the bottom.
[4] Cross the stile. Walk up the edge of the field keeping the hedge on the left. Continue past some farm buildings to the field corner where there is another stile. Cross this stile, turn right and walk along the concrete drive to the main Eccleshall to Newport Road.
Taking great care because of the traffic, turn right for thirty metres and then cross the road into Moss Lane.
Follow the lane to the Knightley Road. Here turn right and follow the pavement for thirty metres. Cross the road into Lodge Lane. Continue along Lodge Lane to the crossroads.
[5] At the crossroads, turn right to follow Riley lane to the oblique crossroads with the Knightley Road. Cross the Knightley Road and follow the pavement on the right hand side of Dicky's Lane until it is safe to cross to the pavement on the left. Follow Dickey's Lane back to the starting point. Take great care crossing the main road.
