Overview

Join me for this pleasant walk through the Worcestershire countryside. We will follow field paths, bridleways, quiet country lanes and a short section of canal towpath to reach the North Worcestershire Way which will lead us to lunch at Forhill picnic area next to the Peacock Inn. Our return journey takes us through forested areas around the edge of Kings Norton Golf Course before a final section of farmland and roadwalking before taking refreshment at the pub. There are approx. 7 stiles and a couple of steady inclines.Some sections could be muddy after rain.

Potential Hazards - take care. One short section on a busy road with no pavement. Beware of golf balls on the golf course. Also one field of horses and lots of brambles.
