Overview

A moderate walk of around 8.3 miles, starting and finishing at the Anchor Inn, Hurley Common. The walk takes in Birch Coppice Business Park, Baddesley Ensor, Baxterley Church and Hurley before returning to Hurley Common. The route goes along good tracks, a disused railway line and minor roads. There are two well-maintained stiles and a couple of inclines. At the time of the recce, there were some greasy parts on the walk, but the paths and fields were generally firm.
