October Sunday Ramble
n the morning we start from Radford and head out of the village towards Alcester. We then head across farmland towards Slade Wood and then to the village of Rous Lench. We then complete a circuit of the village before stopping for a short refreshment break in the churchyard – please bring a drink and a snack. Next is a steady climb out of the village, past a deer farm for some spectacular views north across Worcestershire. Next up is a steady downhill wander through Slade Wood and across more farmland to the Radford to Alcester road and back to the start point.
The afternoon takes us out of Radford across farmland towards Inkberrow. As we reach Inkberrow we skirt the boundary of the village and then our second short climb of the day before crossing more farm land and circling back towards Abbots Morton. In Abbots Morton we then turn for Radford and a leisurely walk across fields to our start point.

Chair’s Ramble & AGM March 2025
The Chair's Ramble offers a beautiful walk and great food. What more could you want?
Starting at 10.00 am, we will explore the Heart of England Forest. The forest was the brain-child of Felix Dennis, a larger than life millionaire, who set up a charity to reverse centuries of woodland decline by creating and conserving a huge broadleaf forest for the benefit of the environment, wildlife and people. -

April Sunday Ramble
From Brailes Hall we take a short walk down to ‘The George’ public house, where we take a footpath to Rectory Farm, then on to Chinslade Barn and Fisher’s Coppice, then a short climb to Round Hill where we follow the culvert to Lower Atchill and Traitor’s Ford. We stop here for coffee and a paddle.
We then pick up the Macmillan Way, climbing to brilliant views and then join Ditchedge Lane to Gallow Hill and out to the village of Epwell. We lunch here and make a visit to the interesting little church of St. Anne’s.
Once ready we will head off west taking an interconnecting footpath to Winderton. In this small village we will take the opportunity to visit the church of St Peter and St Paul’s, and take a sneak view of Alice Hyde’s Cottage: Alice was a famous resident of the village in the 1900s. Our return will be across open fields with the Cathedral of the Findons in clear sight. The option of a direct return to the Village Hall is available, or for those more energetic, a climb up Castle Hill to the ancient motte and bailey castle, taking in splendid views before returning to the parking. -
