This little man-made waterfall is the overflow from the big lake but is still quite realistic. Best visited in the winter for flow and less foliage to get in the way of the camera shot!|

Shrawley woods is a great place for a gentle wander. There are many accessible paths though significant parts are private and are fenced off - such as the area around the big lake. The spring is notable for the wild garlic and then the Bluebells, and the autumn is good for the leaf colour.

These stepping stones are fine in the summer, but will typically be well under water for much of the winter and the water can be fast flowing. Fortunately there is a bridge about half a mile to the east.

Alas for most of 2024, the stepping stones are missing, presumably washed away. As mentioned about - footbridge available near where the brook meets the Severn (SO 811 666)

This beautiful open meadow is situated on the banks of the River Severn, where it meets the Dick Brook. It offers plenty of space for activities and is perfect for running around with your dog.

The mill has a stone with the date 1652 on it. The Dick Brook was canalised in the 1650s by Andrew Yarranton and the mill built as a tilt hammer mill to service a nearby blast furnace. The mill later became a fulling and paper mill until it was taken over by the Worcester Porcelain Company for the grinding of βgrogβ from about 1760 till about 1808. It reverted back again to an iron works when a puddling furnace was installed (which has been excavated in the recent past). The site then evolved into domestic residences and was ultimately cleared.

Dick Brook is thought to be the first canalised brook in England, engineered by Andrew Yarranton, a local pioneer of the industrial revolution. He did this in the mid-17th century, 100 years before James Brindley embarked on the canal-building revolution. The brook was dredged and locks built to enable boats to carry iron ore from the River Severn up Dick Brook to a blast furnace. 500m along the path, marked by a way-marker post, you reach the site of a former iron forge. There are some building remains and the area is being studied by local historians. As you continue westwards, to the right of the path there are the earthworks of the leat which fed water to turn the wheels at the forge. The furnace site was 100m up the valley to the south of the path as you go towards Glasshampton. Source: Geopark guide
