The Walk

Grade :- Moderate plus.

Total 8 miles.

The Route

We leave Elmley Castle and progress along the contour to Great Comberton where we pick up the Wychavon Way and climb steadily, initially to Woollas

Hall, which we should reach for our morning coffee stop. We then head up Bredon to reach the tower for our lunch stop and hopefully some extensive views. We will now have done 80% of the uphill parts of the walk and be past half way. After lunch we can take a more leisurely descent down Fiddler's Knap to finally cross a couple of fields to return to our cars. At this point some or perhaps all of us may wish to recoup our energy with refreshments in the Queen Elizabeth!

Let's hope we have a dry day with some far distant views, Bredon Hill can deliver some of the best of our local views.
