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

This walk follows the " Limestone Way " trail devised by Dudley Council and returns along other paths. It climbs 4 of the 5 limestone hills - Wrens Nest Hill, Mons Hill, Hurst Hill, and Beacon Hill and skirts the base of Castle Hill. This area is internationally famous for its Silurian limestone fossils, collections of which can be found in museums throughout the world. It is also the birthplace of Abraham Darby ( the first ) who revolutionised iron making and started the industrial revolution.
Six stiles, some steep climbs and probably mud.
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 Sandwell Rambler and Walsall Ramblers.
We look forward to welcoming you : however we do ask that walkers ensure they are fit enough for the walk they wish to undertake. We also recommend appropriate footwear such a walking boots and outdoor clothing suitable for our inclement weather. You can contact the group or walk 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. Sorry no dogs allowed.
