Overview

A WALK DESCRIPTION: The A walk will be a circular walk from Shatterford (A442) near Kidderminster. The walk is under 11 miles, 1600ft of ascent and will be a picnic Lunch. The walk starts from Shatterford at Bellman’s cross and heads north-ish to Witnells End and then follows a bridle path through Arley wood heading towards The Wilderness. We head east to reach the edges of Kinver Edge, which we head alongside the ridge heading north, at reaching the Staffordshire Way we climb up to the ridge and follow it to a viewpoint. Afterwards we head back along the ridge continuing along to the end and continue to follow the Staffordshire Way to Drakelow. From here we head to an Arboretum and then head back to Shatterford. Please note other than Kinver Edge, this walk may be muddy in parts.
