Norrest Wood from the footpath

The footpath entrance stile was somewhat overgrown when visited, but can just about be negotiated by those with long legs or decent balance. Look for a small gap in the hedge back from the road surface.

Birchwood Lane

This shows the 40 metre stretch of the lane used by the Geopark Way, which has just joined from the right, and turns right into a field at the track junction ahead, although it rejoins the lane for a while about a kilometre ahead.

Geopark Way leaves Birchwood Lane

Larger sizes of this may reveal the pencil of light coming through the right-hand hedge where the Way follows Cradley footpath CD64 rather than the track to Birchwood House.

Birchwood Common

From the junction where the Geopark Way leaves the lane as shown in SO7550 : Geopark Way leaves Birchwood Lane. This field is on a ridge.

Field on Geopark Way

Taken looking right from SO7549 : Stile on Geopark Way, on Cradley footpath CD62. The Way, having followed Birchwood lane for 40 metres (see SO7550 : Birchwood Lane and SO7550 : Geopark Way leaves Birchwood Lane), re-enters the same field on Cradley footpath CD64. However, electric fencing suggests that it is not permissible to take a short cut across the field.

Geopark Way at Old Norrest

The Way takes a rather eccentric course as it follows Cradley footpath CD62 around Old Norrest; see SO7550 : Geopark Way at Old Norrest, for instance.

Geopark Way at Old Norrest

A reverse view of SO7550 : Geopark Way at Old Norrest. A damaged Geopark Way gives some semblance of authority to this route, the hand-painted directions over a stile lacking a cross-piece perhaps less so. This is Cradley footpath CD62.
