Overview

We start with a walk to a great section of Offa’s Dyke on Rushock Hill. This will be followed by a coffee stop on or below Herrock Hill, depending on the weather, before we head for the trees of Stanner Rocks and Worsell Wood. We will leave the trees to follow our path back to Kington. There will be a few gentle ascents which you can take at your own pace. There will plenty of time to wander and enjoy the views. The paths are mainly grassy with one or two slightly dodgy stiles.
