The South Staffordshire Railway Walk runs for five and a half miles from Castlecroft at the northern end to Wall Heath in the south, where it continues on to Pensnett. The northern end at Castlecroft extends through Valley Park.

 

The all weather surface makes it ideal for wheelchairs, pushchairs and family cycling. Horse riding is allowed between Greyhound Lane (Penn Halt) and Wombourne Station, and from Wall Heath to Himley Car Park.

 

Refreshments

 

The Railway Café which is located on the South Staffordshire Railway Walk in Wombourne has been open for many years, but has recently undergone refurbishment and is now open under new management.

Picnic sites run all along the walk including Penn Halt, Orton Hall, The Bratch and Himley.
