Overview

Wednesday 4th February: Blackstone, near Bewdley, 9 miles, start time 10:00 am prompt

The walk is on generally good paths, but after recent rain there are a few slippery bits, so walking poles are recommended. We will pass Ribbesford church, a 15th century church which is a grade one listed building. There’s a steep incline after a 330 ft assent onto the Worcestershire Way. .Lunch will be in Stourport where there are toilets. After lunch we will follow the canal out towards Burlish Top and The Devil's Spittleful.
