Being Clent Hills it is undulating in nature with 3 or 4 steady ascents and descents (not unduly steep). The walk is more or less a figure of eight, and at the northern loop we have to cross and later recross the A456 where care is obviously needed when crossing. Other than that the walk is mainly on field paths and woodland tracks. Given half decent weather there will be some magnificent views
Travel directions - Take A449 towards Wombourne and Himley. After the traffic lights at Himley continue to the roundabout and carry straight on taking the A491 through Kingswinford and Stourbridge all the way to Hagley.
Here, at a major T.junction and traffic lights turn left onto A456. Keep on this road until reaching the 2nd roundabout where you take a right into Hadley Wood Lane. After ½ mile look out for the car park on your right.
