쉬운 켄스윅 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

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.

Great river walk with some access for people to do wild swimming / cool off.

Take cash because they don’t accept card payment.

Nestled in peaceful Lower Broadheath, The Firs was the first place of inspiration for composer Edward Elgar, who was born here in 1857. Today the property is owned by the National Trust, requiring membership or buying a ticket to enter.

Short and steep bridleway linking the Hallow village to the River Severn... check out the stamped-concrete 'cobble' pattern

The island used to be known as the Camp because, historically, it served as a place of refuge for Worcester's citizens, whether from Danish raiders, plague or civil war.

The new fish pass is constructed as part of the Unlocking The Severn project. The columns that look like steppingstones break up the flow of the river into varying velocities, which allows native and migratory species of fish of all sizes to swim upriver because they are unable to cross over the weir.

This possibly unsafe  cast iron bridge, crosses a branch of the River Severn to join the tiny Bevere Island. It is said to have been built in 1844, as compensation to the landowner Mr Moon for some inconvenience he presumably suffered when a weir was constructed, and a lock was built on the adjacent leg of the Severn. It was intended for pedestrians and cattle.  Bevere Bridge is a superb example of Victorian craftsmanship probably brought down the Severn on a “flote”, a raft with sides. The first American Locomotive travelled in a similar manner from Stourbridge down to Gloucester The site can only be approached on foot, via footpaths through fields from Bevere village. The bridge was Grade II listed in 1985.

Quiet route for quick ride

Ankerdine Hill, at 489 feet (149 m), is part of the Abberley Hills ridge in the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark. The ridge was formed during the Silurian period and is of considerable geological significance. The River Teme loops around the hill, surrounding it on its western, southern and eastern side, giving it superb views of the Teme Valley. It is most commonly ascended from the village of Knightwick, where the award-winning Talbot pub is a good post-hike option.
