This footpath is link between Shackleton Drive and Tasmin Grove. Whether you are driving or walking in Perton, I advise you to either know where you are going, or have a good street map and know how to use it. The layout of Perton is almost maze-like with many footpaths linking bendy "Drives" and "Groves" and "Closes". Bear in mind there is no public road east or south out of Perton. The main road (The Parkway) goes round in a "circle". "Vehicles (apart from buses) must exit via Wrottesley Park Road on the west side. Perton in South Staffordshire is a large village, effectively the edge of the Wolverhampton conurbation. Much of it was built in the late 20th century and early 21st century on the site of the former Perton Aerodrome which closed in July 1947, and adjacent farmland. https://pertonparishcouncil.gov.uk/about-the-parish/history-of-the-parish/ Since 2023 the village has started expanding into farmland west of Wrottesley Park Road.
