Follow our exact route on Komoot here

🚶‍♂️ The Walk
Start at Blackstone Picnic Site (free parking), which is just off the A456 between Stourport and Bewdley. There’s a big open grassy area that’s great for picnics, running around, or letting little legs stretch. The walk itself is flat and buggy-friendly, winding through peaceful heathland and open fields.

🚂 Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Trains
You’ll pass under the Severn Valley Railway bridge, and if the timing’s right, you might spot a steam train chugging past overhead. Always a crowd-pleaser (especially if you’ve got a train-mad kid... or grown-up).

🦏 Rhino Spotting!
As you head along the trail, you’ll reach a stretch that backs onto the safari park—and yep, you can almost always spot actual rhinos as it's right behind their watering hole.

🌳 Picnic + Tree Climbing = Happy Kids
There’s a brilliant picnic spot at the rhino viewing area, complete with a proper tree just begging to be climbed. Ideal place to stop for snacks and soak it all in.
