Around Clent

Walking through Clent on my way back to the start of the walk.
This used to be the old school
St Leonard's Church
The new Clent sign, erected in 2012


A very old tractor passed by.
Too old to need a roll bar.
This house was also once a school - a charity school. Two schools in one small village must be quite unusual
The car park at the Fountain pub was fairly full (round the back as well) given it was a Monday lunchtime!
Back on the the N Worcs Path
The weather was gorgeous for late November
Still misty over in Shropshire!




The sunny path home


Walk details: Park on the quiet roads round Hagley Hall, and follow the N. Worcs Path (well signposted in the main) to climb Clent Hill. From the Four Stones the path is less clear, but keep going, and all the paths lead to the road. Continue past St Kenelm's car park onto Walton Hill, still following the  N Worcs Path to Calcothill Farm, and follow an easy track to Walton Farm, and then the quiet road back to Clent. Or you can branch off and take a path that contours the hill and takes you practically to Clent. From Clent, re-take the N Worcs Path back to your car. Total distance 6.5 miles, with at least 500' of ascent!
