Starting at the Crown Wentnor (Re-opened 2023) the walk climbs to Norbury and the adjacent Linley Hill.
This provides excellent views over the Welsh Marches, with the Stiperstones and Long Mynd clearly visible. On a clear day the Brecon Beacons are visible.
The route then descends to the historic Norbury, before the short climb back to Wentnor.
Providing moorland walking with open vistas, it's an excellent get started walk for 2024 and an opportunity to dust-off the walking boots. This is a familiar walk for the group and is an excellent get-out and walk start to the year.
Parking at the Crown Inn, Wentnor. Toilets available. Refreshments available at this community public house post walk.
Terrain is wet and some mud can be expected, until we get onto the top of the hills, poles and gaiters advisable when crossing the moorland.
The few stiles are in excellent repair and route well maintained. Ascent is short and broken into easy sections.
