Overview

The walk heads through Ham Dingle nature reserve then up to the top of Wychbury Hill, a landmark for miles around. We then descend through woodland into a historical landscape of farmland and anciant meadows divided by hedgerows and sunken lanes. Passing into the adjacent residential area (built to house workers from the long gone Beech Tree and Oldnall Collieries ) we return via Wollescote Dingle to Ham Dingle.

One long steep hill, 3 stiles, a rapeseed field, a golf course and possily mud.

The Ramblers are taking part in the Countryfile Ramble as part of this year's Children in Need, anyone who wishes to attend this walk is welcome to bring along family and friends. We look forward to welcoming you, however  we do ask our walkers to ensure they are fit enough for the walk, and recommend appropriate footwear and outdoor clothing suitable for weather conditions on the day. There will be drink stops and a lunch stop so please bring your own drinks and a packed lunch. The walk includes one long steep hill, 3 stiles to climb over, a golf course to cross. There will be some road walking and possibly muddy conditions. There will be no toilets or catering facilities on this walk. We also ask you to notify the walk leader if you are planning to attend.
