Overview

Amanda is leading a 12.5 miles circular walk, starting in Sanders Park, Bromsgrove. It takes you into some beautiful parts of Bromsgrove, with varied terrain including woods and fields with some stunning views on clear days.


 

There are a handful of stiles, some mud, some livestock. Please bring a mat to sit on at lunchtime as there isn't a conveniently located church/picnic bench so we will be standing or sitting in a field/mud!


 

Note, in addition to sheep/horses/possible cows, the path follows the perimeter of a private house at one stage which has two very noisy dogs so if you bring a dog please ensure it will cope with this.


 

Toilets are available at the start point (Sanders park) but no other facilities en route.


 

More info on the walk from Bromsgrove's website:


 

Travel back in time from the very heart of bustling Bromsgrove to the hunting forests of the Middle Ages. The countryside around here gives a rich and vibrant picture of Royal Hunting Forests, the rise of Chartist settlements, priories, visiting kings and much more. Through three waymarked circular walks you can explore the fascinating heritage that this part of Worcestershire has to offer.
