Overview

A circular walk that leaves Alfrick via Folly road and Green street to pick up an old drovers road across fields to Lulsley pool. Here we join the Worcester way and walkthrough woodland to Blackhouse woods. Listen out for the muntjac deer barking…they seem particularly noisy at the moment. We follow through to the Knapp and Papermill and enjoy the wildlife and kingfisher in the reserve before climbing a short but steepish track home. Please bring MMR.
