Wednesday 25th March

 

Meet at Kidderminster for 10.05 (09.11 off Moor St) for this nice easy 7 mile walk.  

​

After the streets of Kidderminster it's 3 miles along the Staffordshire & Worcestershire canal before branching off on the old Stourport line. It's fields and lanes for the final section around Hartlebury before finishing at the railway station. There's a good lunch menu at the public house so I will make use of that but for anyone wanting lunch before we'll have a stop around noon.

 

Trains back hourly 

31 towards Birmingham 

44 towards Droitwich
