Directions

Gorgeous circular walk through the forest to a stunning picnic spot at a viewpoint halfway round which overlooks Trimpley Reservoir and the Severn Valley Railway Line.

Time it right with the train and you'll watch it steam by right down below you.

Follow my route here: Hawkbatch

There's a surfaced path all the way round, which we didn't take entirely but if you did it would make it nicely buggy and wheelchair-friendly.

✅ Dog-friendly

✅ Buggy-friendly

✅ Wheelchair-friendly

✅ Bike-friendly (just beware that it's gradually up for quite a while to get to the viewpoint so just a warning for little bikes!)

✅ Free parking at B4194, Bewdley DY12 3AF
