Kelvyn Jones - from Brierley Hill, West Mids. In reviewing Chaddesley and Nutnells Wood Circular Walk , https://www.alltrails.com/trail/england/worcestershire/chaddesley-and-nutnells-wood-circular as on display by the ‘Chef & Brewer chain ( Mare & Colt, Summerfield ), https://www.alltrails.com/lists/walks-near-the-mare-colt-summerfield-a5cdd4a wrote_ “Just be careful parking opposite the church, village mentality is on steroids in Chaddesley and they think they own the public road outside their houses. We parked up and then the village idiot turned up and reversed right back to within 6" on my front bumper. He was still there 3 hrs later upon our return waiting to grab the space back. All rather sad. He should consider moving to the neighbouring village of Bell End.” Well, that’s one opinion. ‘Other opinions are available’ .. as Alan Davies might say on Q.I.
