A Wyre Forest circuit
Walk through a gate on to a forest road and immediately turn right on a footpath (‘WBRA’ waymarker) into Earnwood Copse. Keep straight on at all junctions, eventually joining a sunken path not far from the edge of the forest. Fork left to pass under an over-hanging yew tree and continue downhill.
The path meets what looks like a firebreak but is actually the route of the Elan Valley pipeline, bringing Welsh water to Birmingham. Turn right and cross a footbridge in the trees to the right of the pipeline. Walk up a bank into arable fields and then head uphill, keeping just left of the hedge. At the end of the second field, turn left and go through a hedge gap, soon recrossing the hedge at a waymarked gate. A stile in a field-corner leads to a dark leafy tunnel, then a clear track, which passes a restored and extended cottage.
