Friday 28 February 2025 - May Hill

For a second walk of the day, Sue and I stopped in May Hill Village and enjoyed a stroll up and down May Hill. A very pleasant clockwise circuit on a warm, sunny afternoon.

More woodland paths, similar in many ways to the ones we had enjoyed earlier in the Clent Hills.

Near or at the 296 metre summit, a trig point on the edge of a small wood.

Time for a coffee and cake break.

We continued over the crest of the hill and headed back down via some nice forestry paths in Newent Woods, eventually reaching the village hall where we should have parked - there was lots more room than in the muddy spot we chose a bit further down the hill.

There are lots of road/pathside flowers just now, mainly snowdrops and also lesser celendine and wood anemones. It's very spring like as we move into March.

Here's our route - 6km with 200 metres ascent, taking about a leisurely hour and a half.
