Three Cornered Covert is a picturesque woodland area located in Worcestershire, England. With its lush greenery and dense forest, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers alike. The woodland covers an area of approximately 100 acres, providing ample space for exploration and relaxation.

The forest is primarily composed of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and birch, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. The dense foliage provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and various bird species. It is not uncommon to spot these creatures while wandering through the woods.

Three Cornered Covert is intersected by several well-marked trails, allowing visitors to easily navigate through the forest. These trails vary in length and difficulty, accommodating both casual strollers and avid hikers. Along the paths, benches are strategically placed, offering weary adventurers a chance to rest and take in the tranquil surroundings.

The woodland is also home to a small pond, where visitors can observe aquatic life and enjoy the peaceful ambiance. Surrounding the pond, there are picnic areas equipped with tables and grills, providing a perfect spot for a family outing or a leisurely lunch in nature.

Three Cornered Covert is open year-round, and each season brings its own unique charm. In spring, the forest floor is adorned with vibrant wildflowers, while autumn paints the trees in a stunning array of warm hues.

Plaque at Debdale Bridge (No. 22), Staffs & Worcs Canal, near Cookley The small bridge at Debdale Lock is, not surprisingly, called Debdale Bridge, and numbered 22. Usually these plaques are affixed to the bridge, but this one is attached to the lock wall under the bridge. The style of the plaque would seem to indicate it is probably a replacement, rather than an original.
