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 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. Joint walk with Sandwell Ramblers.
We leave the meeting point in Walsall promptly at 09:15am. The start time is the time the actual walk is due to start.
We regret we cannot allow dogs other than assistance dogs on weekend Walsall Group walks.
