Route type
Circular

The second walk option from Stafford doesn't take you into the town, but instead it heads outand along the 'Isabel Trail' deep into the Doxey Marshes.

This is a perfect place to stroll and enjoy nature and there are lots of Bird species to spot on your walk.

There is a significant section of 'there and back' walking on this route with a loop around the marshes at the end and you can of course combine this with the first route to make a nice long day out.

Nice walk. First section very narrow. Some of the path flooded in Doxey Marsh.
