ケンズウィックでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Tough, wooded hill climbs. In leafy summer, the trees block the views over the valleys.

Nipple Well lies on the slopes of Nipple Coppice. More of a spring really, this "well" is being managed by the forestry company to enhance drainage. Forestry roads are well kept but muddy in all but the longest droughts.

Top of the hill, there's a bench, with excellent views toward Berrow Hill. Take a breather doing hill reps from Kingswood Common, and read the plaque.

Well kept footpaths through the woods. Trail along the Teme bank, or higher up the valley. Off road shoes essential, mind your step for some tree roots.

Red sandstone rock formation - low cliffs of exposed stone that has been historically quarried for building materials. A path runs along the bottom and the top, currently (Sept 2024) overgrown in places. An information sign gives details among the nettles.

A circle of birches, some fallen from storms.

Expect damp paths and some mud, but gorgeous, with wildlife to spot if you're quiet.

I walked this part in February, and it was extremely muddy, but nevertheless, still never navigable. Probably better when you are sure that the ground has dried out.
