A short walk of 1.5 miles starting at the postbox on Woodgreen Common. The route passes through Densome Wood (excellent for bluebells in early May), continuing to Higher End Farm (passing a Tulip Tree – in flower from mid-June) and then returning along Higher End Lane (stop and admire the old bridge) and the Avon Valley Path. This area was originally part of the Hale Park Estate. Both the farm and Densome Wood were sold during the 1920s and 30s with the latter being developed for housing as more townsfolk began to move to the country.
