Hagley to Barnt Green
Ridge walk over North Worcestershire Hills, open hilltops, scrubland, gorse, woods, pastures, motorway bridge crossing, country parks and heathland with bilberry and heather.
Time: 5h
Warnings: Steep descents.
Walk details: the Saturday Walkers Club (tips, local insights and turn-by-turn directions).
Kidderminster to Hagley
A mix of long urban pavements and surprisingly good off-road paths through pleasant countryside, including woodland and a path around Harborough Hill and with a central stretch of over a mile alongside the busy A456 on wide pavements. Best part is Hurcott Wood just after leaving Kidderminster, with bluebells in spring and birdsong.
Woodland: a quarter under tree cover.
Time: 2h30–5h
Lunch: A couple of pubs in Blakedown for potential stops.
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a sixth of the walk. The long stretch alongside the busy A456 and a few other road sections without verges require care; Hurcott Lane is a narrow lane used as a rat run with no pavement.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Hagley Circular via the Clent Hills & Calcot Hill
Open hilltops, ridge paths, woods, pastures, valley paths, quiet lanes and country park fringe.
Time: 3h30
