Overview

A moderate+ walk from Longhope with a couple of inclines and stiles as we head to Hobbs Quarry SSSI and Huntley Hill Wood, aka Bear Wood, as one can see many bear sculptures placed by locals. There is a stunning viewpoint over the Severn at the end of the walk. On the way back we’ll pass a farm with rheas. 
In the afternoon we will follow the Wysis Way to the top of May Hill, returning along the Geopark Way.
