Habberley Valley

Habberley Valley is a Local Nature Reserve consisting of 25 hectares of lowland heathland and woodland with large sandstone outcrops.[1] There are walks connecting it with the Wyre Forest which lie east of Wassell Wood (at Trimpley) and is a popular site locally for picnics and walks. The path up the escarpment at the west end of the valley is called Jacobs Ladder.[2]

The Habberley trail

Near Habberley Valley was Habberley Golf Club. It was founded in May 1924, but closed for golf in March 2017. The land is now occupied by The Habberley Trail, an adventure trail for children.[3]
