Nice walk parking in Hanbury woods and walking through to Hanbury Church, doesn't take long and the views are beautiful from the church. This time of year the church yard and surrounding areas have a lot of snowdrops growing which is lovely to see. Walked following a short wet period and the woods were thick in mud, difficult with young children but we found a way through. Will visit again in warmer, dryer weather

Hanbury Woods was a lovely morning walk. Good parking, but when we arrived quite crowded, but once parked and walking didn't see many people at all. It was very muddy and slippery, my husband slipped over, but no harm done. There were some steep climbs, some very muddy, but if you walk on a bit further, there are less steep and less muddy climbs, which made it easier. There are some lovely glades, covered in golen leaves, and children were having fun kicking the leaves and throwing leaves at one another. We went there on Sunday 22/11/20 as we didn't want to go too far, being we were in lockdown, but wanted to enjoy the sunny weather, with a nice walk, there are better woodland walks in the area, but we enjoyed this one as well.

Not the best pics, but i LOVE this place! It's a good walk through the woods, and you can come out by the church which had the most amazing views! Definitely worth a trip as the pics don't do it justice

Lovely woods. Beautiful whatever time of year you go. Great for the children to run around in. Great for the dog too. Take a walk up to Hanbury church. Have a wonder around the cemetery. The view is pretty great from the church yard across the Worcestershire countryside. Recommended.
