The four-mile Upper Arley Circular Walk will take place on Saturday at 9.30am, meeting at the noticeboard at the old river crossing site. Later at 1pm, the three-mile Wonder in the Wyre walk will depart from Earnwood Copse car park on the B4194.

On Sunday the four-mile Bewdley river and rail circular walk will leave from Bewdley Severn Valley Railway station at 10am. To book call Worcestershire Hub on 01905 766493.
