Edge, Stockend and a bit of the Cotswold Way

Map of walk

We parked at Edge and walked through Stockend, under the tree-line then returned through the woods on the Cotswold Way. There was a clear view to the Malvern Hills

Looking back to where we have walked – across the top of the fields, under the tree-line

Robinswood Hill

Back through the woods
