Slow Ways linking Kinver and Hagley, Highley, Kidderminster, Kingswinford, Stourbridge
England / Staffordshire / Kinver
Kinver’s five Slow Ways are 60% checked
Help connect Kinver
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Kinver’s Slow Ways.

A nice mixed walk with parks, smaller roads, and one very challenging road to cross and walk alongside, before cutting into the footpath at the back of the hotel car park, but otherwise it was an easy and safe walk. We thought an approach walking along the towpath might be a nicer route into Kinver, but we stuck to the defined route....

Walk this routeOnce we have left Kinver High Street, we are on a fairly quiet road with no pavement. Another short stretch of quiet road walking takes us to the A449, which we cross, then take the field path left over a stile....

A big climb out of Kinver onto Kinver Edge is rewarded with excellent views to the west. An easy-to-follow walk along the edge before dropping down on paths to the canal. A pleasant walk then into Kidderminster along the towpath....

The wanderlost surveyor
The first part of the route as described follows Cookley Lane, with traffic which can be fast and relatively busy for a country lane, until it follows the North Worcestershire way and heads eastwards, eventually crossing the River Stour near Caunsell. There is a much better alternative by taking the towpath of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal from Kinver to near Caunsell and then picking up the route as describe. There are two busy roads to cross, the A449 and the A451, both of which carry fast traffic and can be very busy but can be crossed safely with care....
Route should go from top corner of Mary Stevens Park*, cross Heath Lane, public footpath joining top end of Pepper Hill, then Chapel St, Park St, then rejoin New Rd.(Ring Road). Suggestion: for a little more off-road, from Norton Rd, not Stanley rd but take Beech Rd (has bus stops) & sign posted path across common; cross Stanley rd into Park. In Mary Stevens Park*, go to bandstand & take path that slopes directly up to top corner*....

Version 1 is showing route through private gated road, should be neighbouring r.o.w path and street. Some choices for the path are debatable and might be improved, e.g. choice between awkward path or more direct minor road....
