Fradley Junction Laughing Duck Cafe is a great place to stop

The emblem of the Airborne Forces is Bellerophon mounted on the winged horse Pegasus which features in the design of this memorial. You’ll also see a figure of a paratrooper pulling in his bergen.

Until this monument, there was none in Britain to all Poles across Europe who died during World War II. Polish Forces served with the Allies from the first day of war until the last. The monument is comprised of four sculptures of typical members of the main branches of the Polish Armed Forces: the Air Force, the Army, the Navy and the Polish Underground Home Army. The airman is a Polish pilot from RAF 303 Squadron during the Battle of Britain; the Underground figure is a woman courier wearing civilian clothes; the army is represented by a typical Polish soldier from the battle of Monte-Cassino; the seaman is a crew member of the Polish destroyer Błyskawica. In addition, the figures are ‘combined’ with an eagle uniting all four under its outspread wings.

The original church was a simple, small Norman nave which was extended in the late 1200s. Over the next few hundred years an aisle and tower were added. It became dilapidated but rose again to become the beautiful church that now stands proud above the Trent and Mersey Canal. With its mix of old and new stained glass windows it is a gem of a rural church.

The Trent and Mersey Canal is a 93+1⁄2-mile (150 km) canal in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire in north-central England. It is a "narrow canal" for the vast majority of its length. The Trent and Mersey Canal was completed in 1777 and plays an integral part of Alrewas' history. Once used to ship goods and materials it is now an important leisure facility; the canal is lined with dozens of ornately decorated narrowboats.

A wonderful section of tow-path to run alongside the Trent & Mersey Canal between Fradley Junction and Alrewas.

Fradley Junction, where the Coventry Canal meets the Trent & Mersey Canal, hosts a great little café over-looking the canal, with facilities in the courtyard. A pub, nature reserve and action at the canal locks make this a great place to have refreshments after your run. Can get a little busy due to location.

Take-away with outdoor, canal-side seating. Open 7 days a week for cooked breakfasts, mid-morning snacks, cakes and coffee.
