Overview

A lovely rural walk, just short of 8 miles (800ft ascent) which takes in two forests, views of Kinver Edge and Bodenham Arboretum. It’s quite an up and down walk, nothing too strenuous but enough to get the heart pumping. Very little road walking, lots of quiet lanes and forest trails. Bring a packed lunch. We see some of the Arboretum but need to stick to the public footpath so we can’t use their facilities although we do pass through Kingsford Caravan Park which has a bar and toilets.
