Hiking

The source of the River Stour is a small spring close to St Kennelms Church on the Clent Hills, winding its way across open countryside to Halesowen, then through the edge of the famous Black Country, on to Stourbridge, then out through beautiful countryside via Kinver, Cookley, Wolverley and Kidderminster. Often the River Stour is very close to the Staffordshire & Worcestershire canal in this part of its journey.

Ah - fairly sure the metal plate telling the story is no longer there. Nice to see a photo of it on this website though
