HWW Kinver Edge Stourbridge Staffordshire 5th June 2026

Kinver Edge is a high sandstone ridge and hill fort which overlooks the dramatic red sandstone rock houses.

These homes were carved into friable Permian-aged dune sandstone probably in the 17-18th century. The restored Holy Austin houses are now owned by the National Trust & show how life was lived in the rock until the 1960s. With a tea room on top it's a great place to sit and admire the view.

HWW to everybody. Have a great day.
