- Another day and another ramble along the scenic Millennium Way, this time following Route 15 starting from the Blue Lias pub just outside Stockton in Warwickshire.
Follow me along the charming canal networks through pastures of green and quaint English villages, including Stockton and Long Itchington. A fairly easy walk, ideal for beginners, but still has plenty of features of historical significance for the experienced walker to enjoy.
The route was created by the 41 Club. For full details, click on the following link. It also includes a free GPX for those who use navigation apps. The distance is 5.25 miles, circular. Flat & lowland terrain, including canal towpaths which can be muddy after rain.

See the link below if you are interested in Stockton's Red Granite boulder and pump. Sorry, it was far too busy in the centre of the village to record properly.

Ah what a great walk Rachel. I love a canal walk as you know. And enjoyed the poke around the church too. The Pub looked good and is always a welcome way to send a walk. Interesting hearing about the excavation too. Great job. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Good evening 😊 I’m enjoying my challenge of trying to complete all the Millennium Way circular walks, it may take me some time! Thank you for your watching and commenting. Have a great week and all the best 😎
We've just discovered your rambles on CZcams. They are lovely and so interesting. Thank you for making them.
You are so welcome! 😄
Great fun, Rachel. Thank you!
Thanks Sue 😀
Change in the weather from your last hike but the weather has been so changeable this year. Always love to see an honesty box and there is a young girl who makes flapjack and sells it outside her house with an attached honesty box in Grasmere, I always buy some every time I go past. Those long boats are so picturesque and made such a pleasant backdrop along the tow path. Lovely old church, great to see it was open and I wonder how many baptisms that font has seen over the years. I have tried numerous mics over the years looking for the perfect sound but just gave up now what you see and hear is what you get. Nice way to finish the walk at the pub, something I always like to do myself whenever possible, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, thanks for your comments and feedback. It is helpful. Not sure how I feel about the mic, I need more practice. Yes, honesty boxes are great, I prefer the ones with chocolate or pop inside 🤩
Rachel, definitely a different pace and feel to life along the canal, all so relaxed👍 Loved all the narrow boats, including he reversing. The church and that organ were well impressive as was the knitted top to the post box📮
Hi ya 👋 thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Have a lovely weekend. All the best 😀
such a beautiful Church in Intchington, and the Stockton's flight Locks looks amazing. and yes, that was a lovely willow tree. good to know about the story behind the dinosaur sign in the pub. well done video. we watched until the end. liked 38, and subscribed.
Hi there 👋 This was a very enjoyable walk. If your in the area, I’d recommend it. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend. All the best 😀
Well done Rachel very nice walk, great video as always very informative. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you! You too! I’m hope you are having a good week, and finding time to get out and about 😊
Enjoyed the walk along Millennium way. The canal, the church and the woods == awesome. The pub sign and story is interesting. Cheers, like and all the best to you
Thanks ☺️
Another great adventure. Wonderful tour, lovely hike. Thanks for bringing us along & have an amazing day.
Thanks for watching 😀
Only just seen this - lovely walk and good weather! I love looking around churches, wonderful buildings. Thanks for explaining the pub name and dinosaur - how quirky! x
It was indeed. Thanks for tuning in 😍
Another very pleasant route Rachel. I love a good canal walk too, especially when the skies are blue with the white fluffy clouds 🌤 Nice to see the daffodils. Glad you were able to get inside the church at Long Itchington. Hope that lady steered her narrow boat ok! 😯 Thanks for sharing and see you soon 😃👍
The weather was perfect for a canal walk and I would do this one again. Have a good weekend my friend 😀
Hi Rachel, what a lovely day, the canal look s beautiful. We love a walk along the canals looking at the narrow boats too. The church looked so lovely. Loved the cat flap on the boat. Nice walk along the trail in the woods. The weeping willow tree beautiful and loved your memory. Nice to see the fossils. Thank you for sharing x Julie and Tony x
Hi there, I’ve had a really busy and only just found time to check up on the old CZcams 😀 Thank you for your comments, very much appreciated 😀
@@ramblingracheltrailtales your welcome x take care Julie
amazing place to explore
thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Nah then, ay up me duck.
How dare you not know that old trolley was actually called a catafalque? *Lol.
Lovely ramble with some really interesting facts given. I particularly loved the fond memory you shared of your Grandad and the rope swing.
A feel good video well shot and narrated but with a wonderfully natural feel to it, perfect.
Oh and Yorkshire tea, a definite YES in agreement on that one from me 👍☕🙂
Good evening 😊 I know… coffin trolly… sounded blooming awful! 🫣 Ah well learnt something new that day. 🤔
I do love a Yorkshire tea. 🫖 PG tips and Tetley’s don’t cut it! 😂
I do love a hike along a canel. Great hike Rachel 👍🏼
Oh yes… I do enjoy the local towpaths 😎
Lovely canal nice day 😀
Thank you ☺️
I read Stockholm first 😂 i was surprised 😊
That area is so lovely, that small channel looks like a location straight out of a period piece 😊
Almost! Lol! Stockholm has lots of lovely canals to from what I can remember. 😊 Long Itchington was a very nice village. The old building was interesting, a shame someone parked their VW Polo in front of it 😳
I never knew how many canals there were in the UK, until I started watching Watto's videos. I also never knew about the long boats! I think those are pretty cool. That was also very interesting how they found the bones of a sea creature dinosaur back in the 1800's. I would love to find a fossil. LOL. I enjoyed walking along with you today. Thanks! 😊😊
Hi 👋 thanks for watching. This was a lovely walk, one I would easily do again. 😀
Nice place to walk
Hi Naomi! Thanks for popping by. It was a lovely place to walk. Thanks for your support 😀
What a difference a day makes Rachel 😊 looks lovely and spring like on this walk! I always love canal walks too really. Nice little church to visit. And I would also have not be able to turn that canal boat! Such long boats to try to turn. Great video 😊
Hi Yasmin, thanks for watching. I have a feeling I’ll be doing a few more of these walks specifically in Warwickshire. It’s not county I’ve walked in much which makes it interesting. I hope your having a good week & got some good hike adventures planned 😎
Very nice film there Rachel 👍 enjoyed watching and the commentary was good 👍 regards Glyn
Thank you Glyn for your comments, glad you enjoyed it. All the best 😊
Very nice, the scenery is awesome
Thanks Dave. Have a good weekend and take care 😀
Microphone sounded great Rachel, read in the description you were not sure about it, great clarity, is it good at cancelling wind? Grab those eggs whilst you can! Oh you got an open one. We visited one on Saturday that is supposed to be always open, sadly it wasn’t. Does like quite modern, great repurposing of the coffin trolley, i probably can’t spell its correct name! 😂 lovely mix of daffodils. For plain tea id probably go PG but alas since discovering green tea we can no longer drink normal tea. Any brand of green will suffice. What a lovely day for a canal walk. Have seen cats on barges, they seem quite at home on them. Ah you’ve mentioned the mic, quality seems great Rachel. We have all knitted tops too, all easter at the moment, so enjoyable seeing them. Nice memories of Willow trees. Thanks for showing us the fossils and giving us some background! 👍
Good evening, thank you for the feedback on the mic, it is really helpful.
Yea I genuinely enjoyed this walk, it had so much to offer with some really good features and points of interest.
Have a fab week, and take care 😌
Nice video as always Rachel 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
I like really your video and how you share the outdoors in your area.. 😊❤
Thank you ☺️
Really enjoyed it..some great shots.. thankyou x
Glad you enjoyed it & thank you for stopping by to take a look 😀
Hi Rachel. A lovely stretch of canal👍 I do love a good canal walk! 😁 The mic sounded a bit muffled at first, then whatever you did to it in Stockton made it much clearer👍 Coffin trolley does sound a bit less dignified than catafalque 👍😁 But it looked like they were using it as a stall for a coffee morning or something anyway! 😨 All the best and take care!
Good afternoon Des. Yes, I always find canal walking very relaxing and leisurely. I agree about the mic, I'm not totally convinced by it. It might be just me not using it correctly. Thanks for tuning in and have a good week. Take care x
Another cracking video - don’t know what’s more controversial - The catafalque or Yorkshire Tea .. Loved this section when we walked the 100 mile trail .. And the hat is back !
Ha! The hat is amazing right?! I love geeking out 😄
Hello 👋. Good hiking and trip. Nice nature
Yes, thank you ☺️
That was a lovely walk Rachel, we so love canal walks and you saw some interesting things along the way. The two churches were beautiful and I loved that postbox with the knitted hat and the story behind the dinosaur at the pub! Now regarding the tea, you wanted our opinion, have you ever tried Welsh Brew? It beats Yorkshire Tea any day 🤭. Enjoyed this beautiful walk :) ~ Anna 👍
When I was in Tenby last year, I did buy a box of Welsh Tea, which was very nice indeed. Ok, so I’ll say Yorkshire tea is the best English, that’s fair 😊
Thanks for tuning in 😌 Have a good week.
@@ramblingracheltrailtales Haha love that and yes I agree with you that Yorkshire if the best English tea 😄
Hi Rachel, what's the beautiful day walking along the canal.
Do you judge this church not to so old? Although here stained glass windows, a heavy wooden lid 3:34, and the vaulted high ceiling
are gems to this church. Hmmm I like Mirror, Mirror the reflection on the water. 10:32 Birds chirping in your background as you look down the canal under the willow trees. Like the dinosaur story. Impressive research. Thank YOU Rachel. The weather has improved...just about ready for more hike! See ya...!
Hi, thank you for your comments and glad you liked the content. The church was beautiful 😍
You only get an Oooo with Typhoo. I think coffin trolley was very descriptive Rachel. Mic sounded muffled up until 08:29. Could still hear you but not as good. Then muffled 09:44 onwards. Personal preference is mic outside on clothing. But I still really enjoyed the vlog, thanks for sharing Rachel.
Thanks Chris, your feedback is really helpful. I think I’m only going to use it when it’s really windy or there’s lots of traffic around. It’s ok for a budget buy 😀
@ramblingracheluk I only commented because you asked. I really enjoy your vlogs. I just know you put so much into these. I've got one I need to try too but my wife Amanda has put it in a safe place. You guessed it, she can't remember where. I'm sure it will turn up one day.
What a beautiful place to walk, i do love walking along the canals. they really are so beautiful. That was a lovely church, so glad it was open :-) Brilliant video.
Yes, I wish more rural churches were open during the week. I’ve been on a lucky run of late getting into them. 😊
Great video RR! A coffin trolley? I thought they were called Bier's... Good call on Yorkshire Tea. Mic better sideways
Both! 🤓 However catafalque is the Latin name for it & probably more of a ‘churchy’ term.
Unlike trolley 😅. Looked a great walk
Lovely place ! Thanks for sharing!
Also, I’m a new subscriber! Your channel is great! 🔔👍🤗
Thanks and welcome 🤗
Cool...nice to have a look around new areas
Definitely! 😀
