The walk

Beacon Park Walk

This simple leisurely walk takes you through a short residential area before strolling you through sloppy wood and then the lovely Pipe Green. After this, you'll then head back to the pretty lake in Beacon Park. The park itself is set in more than 70 acres with lovely gardens and is close to the centre of Lichfield.

The park offers a range of other activities including a children's play area, crazy golf and a lot more. It also has a cafe/bistro for refreshments but please check for opening times.

Beacon Park is steeped in history and information boards around the site give you a glimpse into the area's historical past.

Please note that there is a small amount of walking along a quiet lane on the route, and you also need to cross a busy road twice, so please be careful at these points.

Walker review

Very lovely route, but just bare in mind that you have to cross a VERY busy road at one section.
