A very beautiful place to either just walk or take the dog/s. Mostly paved so safe for wheelchair etc. woodland is great for kids to explore. Stunning views of Safari Park and SVR track. Cannot believe I have lived near for over 60 years and have not been there. You can get from Burlish Top from Burlish Meadows (just up the hill), equally as nice AND you can even have your favourite drink and something naughty at Coffee Loco which is in car park at Burlish Meadows. Only downside of Burlish Top is a very very small car park, so if you can't get in, try Burlish Meadows at bottom car park, a lot bigger!

Small car park for 12 cars only. Clear entrance late opening and exit for ease of convenience it’s very clean open. It’s fresh considering the roads are nearby lots of dog walking and meeting.

Beautiful expanse just on the edge of Stourport-on-Severn. A decent amount of parking. The area is sustainably managed with a herd of Shetland cattle freely roaming so dogs need to be under control at all times for the safety and wellbeing of both cows and dogs. Paths are fairly easy to follow and walk but would not be easily accessible for anyone with restricted mobility including the entrance gates. Different in each season so well worth visiting all year around!

This is an absolute local hidden gem. An absolutely beautiful site with so much history and nature to offer you. Well worth a visit if you are a nature nerd or want to encourage an appreciation of nature in your kids. Lots of local friendly dog walkers about too. A nice variety of woodland and heathland. I visited in winter but the car park was actually the muddiest bit of my walk! There are bins by the car park too, so dog poos and rubbish can be properly disposed of. You get views of the Svern railway and nearby safari park too at numerous viewpoints. Will be back in sunnier months and I will be looking out for the lizards, wasps, birds and mushrooms this site is home to.

Really loved my short time here, i only came by while Geocaching. There are many historical sites in this old American world war 2 army base. Already planning a full day exploration. You can find more sites if you leave the main track and go off road.
