"O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us, To see oursels as others see us ... "

Rabbie Burns
(1759-1796)

And to see some lovely views from the 'Clent Hills', against which the church of Saint Leonard nestles,

go to the 'Heart of England' site, run by John Webb; ".........But you'al come back; you hear ?"

The 'Clent Hills' are in fact a ridge of hills skirting the southern edge of Birmingham (Midland Plateau), which the North Worcestershire footpath follows;
Whitlock's End (nr. Shirley Railway station);    Grimes Hill (nr. Whythall railway station);    Forhill;    Gav Hill;    Wast Hill;    High Hill;    The Lickey Hills (Country Park);    Beacon Hill;    Waseley Hill (Country Park);    Chapman's Hill;    Romsley Hill;    Calcott Hill;    Walton Hill;    Clent Hill;    Wychbury Hill;    Sugarloaf Hill;    River Stour (Not on a hill !);    and onto the Kinver Ridge.

The path then joins the 'Staffordshire Way' - and that becomes the 'Gritstone Trail' up through Staffordshire/Derbyshire; and so on, .... and on .....

"It's the far Cuillin's are puttin' love on me,
As step I, wi' mi Cromach, to the Isles."
