Exciting change for 2012 with a new venue, new routes & a new charity

This year we invite you to get your day sponsored and to walk Miles for Macmillan. There will be a choice of 3, 7.5 & 11 mile sign-posted loops along country lanes, footpaths & tow paths, all starting and ending at Baddesley Clinton House. Much of the routes will be along the Heart of England Way, pass various pubs and the longer routes pass by Packwood NT House

After your walk enjoy a picnic with a burger or hot dog from the Lions Bar-B-Que in Baddesley Clinton Grounds

This year we ask you to enter in advance via the Miles for Macmillan website

3 walkers meet the Hollywod Monster in 2011

2011 Stroll organisers Jo, Ute & Steve also pose with the Monster

Dogs are welcome providing they keep their considerate owners on a lead.

There are some stiles to negotiate and hence the walks may no

Up to 20% of the proceeds will be retained for Lions and local causes

Once again this year, as an alternative to our Stroll we have a Bike Ride on the same day also from Baddesley Clinton House. Interested?

We are indebted to the National Trust for their help

Miles for Macmillan

Miles for Macmillan is a national walking event in partnership with Boots. We’re hoping to raise over £1.8m through Miles for Macmillan this year so whatever distance you can manage, every penny you raise will help improve the lives of people affected by cancer

The Story So Far

For many of the first ten years our Summer Stroll raised funds for Diabetes UK and other local causes.

Baddesley Clinton National Trust House

This atmospheric house dates from the 15th century and was the home of the Ferrers family for 500 years. The house and interiors reflect its heyday in the Elizabethan era, when it was a haven for persecuted Catholics  and there are three priest’s holes. There is a delightful garden with stewponds and a romantic lake and nature walk
