Bad weather forecast (rain and high winds)
Walsall Group of Ramblers has been around since 1992 and in that time we've introduced many people to the joys and benefits of walking with the Ramblers
This is traditional hill walking with some wonderful views over the Vale of Evesham, Cotswolds, Malverns and the Black Mountains. There are Iron Age hill fort remains at the summit. Ascents and descents are fairly gradual and the route includes part of the Wychavon Way. Look out for yellowhammers, buzzards and fallow deer. We begin from Overbury and our ascent starts beyond the village of Kemerton. Leaving the hilltop we descend after lunch via Ashton under Hill. Our route back takes in the sleepy hamlet of Grafton and the Overbury Estate. Joint walk with Stourbridge and Wolverhampton groups.
We leave the meeting point in Walsall promptly at 09:00am. The start time is the time the actual walk is due to start.
Dogs are only allowed on Stourbridge group walks with the prior permission of the walk leader.
Booking is not necessary for this walk.
Car sharing recommended due to restricted parking space.
Please notify the leader if you intend to travel direct to the walk start.
Walkers will need a packed lunch.
Due to possible adverse weather, please check the Stourbridge group website before leaving home.
The Yew Tree pub at nearby Conderton will be open for refreshments at the end of the walk.
