The scene was benign today, but this brook does have a real tendency to flood at times of high rainfall, and it would be impossible to cross. If completing this route in the winter months it is worth checking the flood situation first.

A rightly famous and beautiful stretch of woodland - but no butterflies on show today...

loads of spring butterflies

Quiet Anglican church with some gorgeous mosaics inside. Nice brown signpost on the nearest A-Road, so you won't miss the turn.

A scattering of traditional houses, a quaint village shop, a couple of pubs and its pretty St Peter's church makes Flyford Flavell a tremendously picturesque village nestled amongst beautiful Worcestershire countryside. Lodgings and exellent pub food can be found at the Boot Inn, whilst Auntea Rita's is an ideal spot for brunch. Myriad footpaths splay out from the village to explore the surrounding land.

Grafton Wood is a triumph for the conservation of one of Britain's rarest species of butterfly. The brown hairstreak thrives in this mixed woodland, which is jointly owned by the Butterfly Conservation and the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust. August and September are the best months to see the brown hairstreak but the woodland is beautiful all year round.

Great little cycling stop, a bench in the car park and places to lock your bikes.

Jointly owned with Butterfly Conservation, Grafton has been at the heart of one of Worcestershire’s great conservation successes.  The wood is the centre of the only colony of brown hairstreak butterflies in the Midlands.  These elusive butterflies, on the wing in August and September, have been the subject of a long-term project to ensure their survival.  By working with local landowners and encouraging appropriate maintenance of hedgerows, volunteers from both conservation charities have helped the butterflies to increase in range and in numbers.
