A toilet is open and the tenanted Café will re-open 12 April 2021.

There is a vast network of walking trails to enjoy around the Clent Hills, including part of the North Worcestershire Way

Off-road cyclists are welcome on our 27 byways and bridleways. We ask that you do not create unauthorised trails through our conservation area. We have created one risk-assessed, permitted cycle trail at Darkpool Descent, downhill from the Four Stones. The cycling in this area is more suited to mountain bikers than families.

Dogs are welcome at the Clent Hills. Please keep them on a lead in the car park, cafe area and on the Easy Access Route as well as in areas grazed by livestock.

There are several public houses at Adam's Hill.

Visitor information panels are dotted throughout the estate and a topograph describes the views from the summit of Clent Hill.

A permanent Geocaching Trail is available on the hills all year round.

The Clent Hills are a popular, breezy location for flying kites.

A network of 27 bridleways cross the estate. Adam's Hill is a good starting point for horse riding.

Discover more about the countryside through one of our family trails and venture out to spot birds at the bird hide on Walton's Hill, which is marked on the 'Walks on the Clent Hills' leaflet

Schools should contact the estate office prior to visiting"
