Overview

Following the wooded edge of Coundmoor Brook, well-known for snowdrops in February, we continue to Harnage passing some small pools and a reservoir, returning to the pretty village of Cound for lunch.  The second half of the walk takes us to Venus Pool Nature Reserve, a haven for bird life, and returns alongside Cound Brook and over the grade 2 listed Cound Arbour Bridge.
