DAYS OUT IN HISTORIC STOULTON

 We want you to have a good day out in historic Stoulton. Footpaths criss-cross almost 2,000 acres of beautiful, gently undulating countryside and the walking is not difficult.  Birds sing and butterflies flutter.  If you are lucky you might just see a deer, or even a hare.  Pass by ancient settlements with historic farmhouses, visit the small village of Stoulton with its 900 year old church.  Heritage detectives! Try to imagine them in Victorian, Tudor or even Anglo-Saxon times!

• BY CAR. Stoulton village is 2.2 miles from Junction 7 of the M5 motorway.  Just take the B4084 towards Pershore and you will soon enter the village.  The church is signposted from the cross roads.  The car park at Stoulton Woodlands is just down the hill on the left.
•  BY BUS. We have an hourly bus service from Worcester. The X50 route travels between Worcester, Pershore and Evesham. Click for the timetable. If you are coming from Worcester, Evesham or Pershore it is certainly worth considering using the bus. The Church and the Village Hall are in Church Lane just a short walk away from the bus stop in the village centre. For Stoulton Woodlands ask the driver to stop.
• BY TRAIN. Trains from many major cities converge just up the road at Worcestershire Parkway Railway station.  From there the X50 bus comes to  Stoulton Village and Stoulton Woodland on its way to Pershore and Evesham.  Our circular walks can easily be accessed from this station. 

Car parking in Stoulton Village is not easy.  The easiest places to park are at the station and in the car park at Stoulton Woodlands

• If you are using the Village Hall you will probably be able to park outside.  
• If you at visiting St. Edmund's Church there is room for a few cars at the side of the road. Please DO NOT park outside the Village Hall unless you have booked to use it.  
• If you are coming to walk the footpaths the very best place to park is in the car park at Stoulton Woodlands - from Worcester just drive through the village and down the hill and you will find a brown sign to Stoulton Woodlands. All our walks start from the car park and it is an easy (maybe a muddy) walk up to the village.
• There is space to park on the roadside on the road just off the B4084 towards the small settlement of Hawbridge. (see Map below). Driving from Worcester towards Pershore drive through the village, continue straight on at the cross roads and then look for a right turn as you go down the hill and park at the side of the road. On the road towards Worcester take the slip road to the left not long past the sign to The Woodlands, drive past Feli's, as you ascend the bank you will see where to park.

IThere are no public toilets in Stoulton.   if you are using the church for a wedding or a funeral you may be able to make special arrangements to use the Village Hall toilets. Please contact stoultonbookings@gmail.com. The alternative is to visit a hostelry.
