The Great Oak

This magnificent oak tree can be found near the edge of Kinver Edge. Its vast shape and size has offered shelter to many animals, and during our visit it was the home of a bull and its calves. The cattle weren’t too bothered that we were there so long as we stuck to the path, and being that we weren’t the only visitor to pass through their grazing ground that day; they must have gotten used to sharing the land. The weather had been very much touch and go; bright and warm spells with the odd light shower; perfect walking weather but the cows were all for staying in the shade. The paths lead off the cliffs in a variety of directions which caused a lot of confusion between groups as to where they wanted to go. We just decided to do the circular walk and stay on the clifftops for as long as possible.
