This walk covers Milford's west side (or the "dark side", where the sun doesn't shine over the Chevin in the winter months) looking at the development of the housing, community buildings and the railway.

Find out about what it was like to have the Strutts as your landlord and why the community of Swainsley Court no longer exists, and where the people of Milford wanted their own railway station.

This circular walk is about 1.25 miles long, mostly flat, with a short piece of hill at the start. It is mainly on pavements, with a little bit of road walking.

Suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and well behaved dogs on leads.
