Overview

A leisurely walk from Kidderminster train station, mostly along the canal and then a disused railway line to Hartlebury station. The plan is to catch the 9.15 train from Worcester to Kidderminster (with a back up plan to catch the 9.47 if the first train is cancelled. There is also an option to take the 8.30 303 bus from Worcester Crowngate to Kidderminster if you prefer. 

There is the option to have lunch/a drink at The Tap House which is on the railway station at Hartlebury at the end of the walk. Return buses and trains go at about quarter to the hour.
