After crossing Kempsey Common we visit the18th-century folly, Pirton Castle, built by the Earl of Coventry to view from his distant estate at Croome Court, and on to nearby Pirton Pool and then to Pirton Church. Our return route is via Stonehall and Kempsey Commons.

A nice gentle walk around Spernall Park in the Heart of England Forest. Will be some good views if the weather is clear.

Leaving Willersery, we take a steady climb to reach Foxhill Manor, one of the leading hotels in the area. We then descend to Broadway via Bibsworth Covert.
On reaching Broadway, we take a footpath behind the High Street and follow clear paths and field tracks to reach a disused railway line, which we follow back to Willersey.
After the walk there will be an opportunity for a drink at The New Inn.
Please park considerately on the side of the main street.

A nice, relaxing wander across Worcestershire farmland, with a call in to the newly planted Heart of England Forest at Naunton Beauchamp.

Starting and finishing at the Oak Pub in Upton Snodsbury (an ERC Friday evening favourite), with an opportunity for drinks and/or food. Prebooking food is required and a menu will be distributed to those who have booked nearer the date.

An evening stroll along the River Severn, visiting Clifton and Ashmoor Common.

A stroll through the Gloucestershire countryside with views towards Broadway tower and Bredon Hill. The bar at Dumbleton Village club will be open for drinks after the walk.

Walking in fields beside the River Avon, Shakespeare’s Avon way, to Nafford Weir. Road walking, through ploughed fields before entering the pretty village of Eckington via the church where The Bell pub opposite will be available . A short distance back to the Car Park.

This is our third summertime romp across the rollercoaster landscape of the hills north of Abberley. We’ll pass a 17th-century farmhouse and a hidden damson orchard. You are encouraged to bring walking sticks, and we’ll be walking fairly quickly and thirstily because the aim, as always, is to end by enjoying Worcestershire’s finest craft beer, at a brewery in a barn which shuts at 8pm. There will be a pop-up food stand – if you might want to eat, please indicate this in your booking and we’ll send you the menu to choose from shortly before the day, so they hold back food for our arrival (the place is very popular on summer evenings). Please bring £1 to pay for parking at the Village Hall.

Starting from Overbury we will head up through the Overbury Estate towards the Belt and Sundial Farm. We will then head towards Banbury Tower and follow the escarpment before heading back down towards Overbury. Will we see the Beast of Bredon?

We should be back at the cars around 11.00 pm.
