Overview

Ben is leading a 3.5 mile moderate evening walk.

We start by skirting the grounds of Wordsley church and walk up beside a new housing estate. Beyond that we enter the wooded area of Buckpool nature reserve and wind through twisting paths. We'll pick up a section of the Dudley parkrun and follow it onto the canal which is fed from Fens Pools. Now descending, the canal will take us back to the start where we can have a drink at the Bird in Hand.
