Join us for a scenic springtime circular walk starting from the beautiful ancient woodland of Tiddesley Wood, a Worcestershire Wildlife Trust nature reserve known for its peaceful glades, diverse wildlife, and seasonal wildflowers.

We’ll make our way from the woodland trails towards the village of Defford, enjoying a mix of field paths, gentle climbs, and countryside views along the way. This route offers a good balance of woodland shelter and open vistas — perfect for those looking to stretch their legs and shake off the winter cobwebs!

Please bring suitable footwear (some paths may be muddy), a packed lunch or snacks, and water. Dogs welcome on leads.

Parking: Free at the Tiddesley Wood car park

Toilets: No public toilets at the start point – please plan accordingly.
As always, please RSVP so we know who to expect. Looking forward to walking with you!
