Overview

Starting from St. Benet's Church Kemerton (note this is the small church at the east end of the village, not the large church of St. Nicholas) the walk will go to Overbury then back across the fields to the south end of Kemerton. The walk continues to the Kemerton Nature Reserve, where we can access the Members' only area, with kind permission from the Kemerton Conservation Trust. There is a variety of wildlife and bird hides so bring binoculars if you have them. We will linger here a while before returning back over the fields to the start. No dogs please. Bring picnic supper. There are several awkward stiles.
