Walking: Wyrley & Essington Canal 2 - Bloxwich, via the Mossley & Cheslyn Hay to Cannock

A second half day along the Wyrley & Essington, this time heading west from Leamore - a chunk of canal I've never walked - through bucolic bits of Bloxwich (but never far from the sound of the M6). Skirting the Mossley estate, we joined the northern, disused element of the canal at Broad Lane; this section has been reinvented as a rather lovely natural corridor linking Bloxwich & Cheslyn Hay. Skirting the western edge of Cheslyn Hay on green paths, down through the rec & Hatherton Reservoir, allowed the 'countryside' element of this walk to continue until we reached the A5 at Bridgtown.
