Disabled Travellers 500th review
We are proud to offer you our 500th review for Euans guide by taking you around The Clent hills which is a very popular countryside ride, the hills having a number of ranges, Wychbury hill, Clent hills and Walton hill.
We suggest a short drive around the area, taking in the village of Clent, the hills, and a lunch break or drink at LYTTLETON. Arms.
So set your satnav to
JAIPUR COTTAGE RESTAURANT, 92 Church Avenue, Stourbridge, DY9 9 PL
PHOTO 1. This will take you to the little green in the heart of the village of Clent. The Indian and Asian restaurant opened in 1994, and still managed by the same family, but only opens in the evenings. However, it is a good starting point for your trip today.
The village of Clent is in the BROMSGROVE district, Worcester, and lies south of Birmingham. Its old English name has the meaning of “Steep slope” or settlement on a hill, and is mentioned in the Dooms day book of 1086.
It remains part of the Worcester Diocese.

NIMMINGS WOOD CARPARK, Clent, DY9 9JR
PHOTO 2. Turning right from the green towards Lower Clent, you will pass the Clent hills, and a few yards later TURN LEFT into Nimmings Wood carpark.
PHOTOS 3, 4 and 5. The car park has 5 blue badge spaces, always full of course, and there is a charge, even for disabled. there is a small cafe, but it’s not posh at all, with plastic chairs, but staff are very nice, accessible toilet, which does not have hand rails at the moment. reviews of the food from this cafe are very good.
There is a compact gravel path which will take you on a 20 minute ride on its short uphill direct climb, including the Four stones, but some disabled may find it rather difficult, so take along a carer with you. The views from the top are worth the effort though, looking over towards the Welsh Black mountains.
Satnav, St Leonard’s church, Clent, DY9 9PN
PHOTO 7. St Leonard’s church on Vine lane, is Church of England, with typical Norman features, originating from the 15th century, but with 1864 Victorian restorations. It is regarded as a pretty church, built of dark red sandstone.
Satnav, The Vine inn, Clent, DY9 9PH
PHOTO 8. This pretty little led pub started life as the early 1800,s Clatterbach watermill, using the power of the local stream for its water supply. It was also used as a travellers resting stop, where they could find refreshment.
In 1836 it became a public house offering local beer.
PHOTO 9 and 10. The pond was transformed into a small beer garden, and today the Victorian country inn offers good food while you sit at wooden tables and chairs, surrounded by Knick knacks. The pub has many excellent reviews, with a good lunch menu.
However, on a warm sunny day, you mar prefer dinning or taking a drink, by the small stream or pond.
It’s all beginning to look a little tired, and seating could be more comfortable, buts it’s a pleasant enough stop as you journey on.
However, we recommend taking your break for a drink, or lunch,
THE LYTTLETON ARMS.
