A GUIDED family nature walk across ‘The Shire’ is taking place this half-term in Inkberrow.
The free stroll has been organised by campaigners against a huge 287-acre power station planned for the Worcestershire countryside which inspired Tolkien’s ‘The Shire’.
The two-hour walk will be guided by local landscape expert Carly Tinkler who promises a range of activities including foraging, bird-spotting and even dowsing.
Event organiser Phil Coathup said the bank holiday was the perfect time for local families to take a gentle stroll across this beautiful landscape.
“We’re delighted Carly is acting as our guide as there’s so much to see in and around Roundhill Wood.
“We’ll be looking out for hares, badgers and foxes as well as red kite, buzzards and other birds of prey.
“Of course, there are also plants and other species to identify which will keep even the most enquiring of minds occupied.”
The walk is starting at 10am, meeting at Stock Wood Lodge Farm on Monday, May 27.
Special commemorative badges will be available on the day for everyone who takes part.
