Worcestershire walks, Elmbridge

The clump of trees at Crutch Hill and the Trig Point (77m) can be seen in the distance.

Crutch Farm stands near the site of the ancient manor-house. All trace of this manor-house has now disappeared; it is said to have stood on the top of some rising ground immediately to the southwest of the present building and adjoining the road known as Crutch Lane. A considerable indentation of the ground by the roadside may indicate a moat, though no return line can now be distinguished, and it may be the remains of a marl-pit. The farm-house is apparently a building of the late 17th century, though much modernized. The materials are red brick, with a tiled roof.

The actual Trig Point can be seen in the middle of the clump of trees. It is fenced off with barbed wire. However one of the trees at the edge provided a good strong low branch to sit and have lunch. For a Trig point of only 77m there are magnificent views as can be seen from the next three pictures.

A place for lunch and a cup of tea. Lovely views all round from the lowly Trig Point (77m)
