KINVER Library is set to be the starting point for a nine-mile countryside walk this week.

The hike is part of a programme of South Staffordshire Library Walks in 2018, and the circular walks, which all start from different local libraries, are encouraging people to explore the countryside on their doorstep.

Ramblers should have sensible dress and footwear and bring a packed lunch.

The entry fee is £2 and walkers should meet outside the Vicarage Drive library at 9.45am on Friday (April 6).

To book a space on the walk, which is required, call 01384 872384.
