Overview

The 8.25 mile moderate and picturesque walk follows public rights of way from the Golf Club through private woodlands which are part of the Wyre Forest.  The bluebell display will be wonderful, and the woodland is attractive and little frequented.  The second half of the walk is through quiet and scenic farmland with wonderful views over Clee Hill, and through the lovely market town of Cleobury Mortimer. There are about 4 stiles, and mud in places. Please come prepared with gaiters and walking poles. 

There are toilets and refreshments available at the Golf Club, which is open to non-members.  Car sharing available at the meeting point.
