Overview

A lovely moderate woodland walk in the Wyre forest. We head down to the River Severn which we follow towards Bewdley until we reach Dowles Brook. Leaving the river we follow the brook into the forest to the new Beaver enclosure. We return to Hawkbatch via Pound Green. Maybe muddy in places

Please note river bridge is closed at Bewdley so will need to approach Hawkbatch from West of the river.
