We are the Wolverhampton Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

On leaving the car park, we begin the climb through Ercall Wood to the summit of The Ercall, with good views across to it's big sister, The Wrekin. On descending, we follow The Shropshire Way to explore this important geological site before passing the reservoir and taking one of the lesser walked paths across the foothill of The Wrekin.
We then continue to Smalley Hill Nature Reserve in the village of New Works, an area of grasslands and ponds and once an important mining settlement in the 18th century. Our return takes us through Limekiln Wood.
Some paths are likely to be muddy.
There will be a short drinks stop and a slightly longer lunch stop - so remember to bring a drink and a packed lunch.
This is a joint walk with Walsall Ramblers and Sandwell Ramblers.
Personal medication, e.g. asthma inhalers and angina sprays, must be carried by the walkers themselves.
All walkers should carry an ICE card or a contact number in case of emergency.
Do make sure you're fit enough and have the right footwear and clothing for weather conditions and the walk you want to do. You can contact the group or leader if in doubt. Non-members of the Ramblers Association are welcome to join us on a couple of walks before deciding whether to join the group.
