Public bridleway through Million Wood, near Enville The public bridleway which runs through the heart of this large wood, is the only route which the public can use. There are no other public rights of way, nor is it access land. Forestry operations are undertaken in the wood, so it is probably safest to stick to the correct route!

Million Wood near Enville A typical scene in the wood, taken from the public bridleway. Although there appears to be a path here, there is no public right of way other than on the bridleway. The trees here are mainly pine. In April 2011, another part of the wood suffered a bad fire, which took some days to extinguish.

The Royal Exchange (1), High Street, Kinver It has been a public house for at least a hundred years, probably considerably longer. In the 1911 census it is described as the Royal Exchange Inn. Apparently at one time it was known by local people as the Cherry Tree. Possibly this was once its name, or perhaps more likely there used to be a cherry tree there.
