Overview

This is a figure of eight walk. Starting from Little Wenlock we head to Huntington and then Limekiln Wood where hopefully there will be a good display of bluebells and/or wild garlic in flower.  We then skirt the golf course and Maddocks Hill and onto the lower slopes of the Wrekin.  From there we make our way back to Little Wenlock via New Works Farm. 

We will be walking across fields and through woodlands, on a mix of paths and tracks and some road walking. Mostly easy going but there are a few sections of path which can be muddy and some narrow and uneven sections.  There may be an update after another recce.
