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.

A nice and easy walk to start off our series of Friday evening walks in 2026. The walk is almost entirely on quiet roads, well-made farm tracks and well-maintained pathways. We will skirt around a couple of fields but nothing challenging under foot. Even if it has been raining, mud should not be a problem. Sunset is predicted to be at 6.30pm, so the latter stages of the walk will likely be in a degree of darkness. Please bring a torch, or your phone, to light the way.

A circular walk across parkland and fields to Spoonly Wood and return past Sudeley Castle.

A ramble through the Ashmore and New Farm nature reserves on the outskirts of Evesham. We will follow parts of the Skylark Trail learning a bit about about the history of the area.

Starting at Piper’s Hill Nature Reserve, we follow tracks and footpaths to Hanbury Church, which has great views across to Bredon, The Malverns, The Cotswolds and May Hill. We continue to Foster’s Green Nature Reserve which includes Eade’s Meadow with its diverse flora and fauna, before returning to Piper’s Hill.

A walk through the Old Hills, which is common land, partly along the Three Choirs Way, returning through Deblin's Green and passing Stanbrook Abbey.

A leisurely stroll across the fields from Dumbleton to Wormington with views of Bredon, Dumbleton and Alderton and finishing with refreshments at the Village club.

Lovely open countryside taking in the three villages of Kemerton, Overbury, and Westmancote.

A pleasant walk across fields towards Naunton Beauchamp. In Naunton Beauchamp we turn towards North Piddle before taking on a gradual ascent back to our start point.

A circular walk with views across the River Avon of Harvington and beyond at the start and of the Cotswolds further on. Upon our return to the Bowling Club for a drink, we will be treated to a bowling display with the chance of having a go.
