Overview

We’ll start our walk at Bumble Hole Visitor Centre, we’ll explore the rich industrial heritage of the area, including canals, old railways before heading to St Andrew’s Church which is the highest point in Netherton with views of Clent, Malvern Hills and The Wrekin. We’ll then return back to Bumble Hole. Afterwards if wanted we can rehydrate at The Old Swan in Netherton, known locally as Ma Pardoe’s. The front bar is unaltered since Victorian time. It’ll be worth bringing a torch for this walk.
