Overview

This scenic walk takes in part of the North Worcestershire path and aims to get to the picnic tables at Forhill for lunch, although those preferring liquid only will find the Peacock Inn close by. We then move on past the golf course to Wythall with it's unusual church spire, and then arrive at Rowney Green and to Newbourne Hill with splendid views if the weather allows. 

Visiting the Weighbridge Inn at the end is a possibility if sufficient interest.

I shall be looking out for anyone on the 9.45am train from Birmingham New Street as this arrives at Alvechurch for 10.16am.
