Overview

Join WMWG for a trip down memory lane as we take a turn through your walk leader's childhood haunts. From Stourbridge Junction we'll head out through the suburbs of Pedmore, head down the dingle and up and over Wychbury Hill, admire the Obelisk and onto the Clent Hills where you can hear about the mystery of Bella in the Wych Elm. After heading over the hills we'll take a turn past Hagley Hall and back across the fields to Stourbridge where a haunted pub awaits should you fancy a drink before the train home.
