Kinver Edge

Kinver Edge walk 1
1.25 miles

The first route is a lovely circular adventure that takes you through pretty woodland near Kinver Edge. As mainly well trodden tracks, these heathland trails allow to meander through the woods enjoying its abundance of wildlife. There are also some steep hills to climb at times on this route, but you'll be rewarded with a wonderful viewpoint for your efforts.

Kinver Edge walk 2
2.5 miles

The second walk at Kinver Edge takes you further into the woods so that you can explore more of this wonderful natural environment and habitat for wildlife. The route continues until you reach Nanny's Rock and then brings you back through the woods, past the iron age hill fort and back to the start. As with the first route, there are some very steep inclines on this walk, but the viewpoint is well worth the effort.

Kinver Edge walk 3
3.75 miles

This final route option is a further extension again on the first two routes. It still of course enjoys the breathtaking viewpoint from the other routes, but it then takes you much deeper again into the Kingswood Forest Park. As with the other routes from here, there are some steep hills to climb and descents on this walk, so please go prepared with the energy you need for the workout and of course the appropriate food, water and clothing.
