Enjoy a seven mile walk in the lovely countryside around Twyning, followed by a visit to the unmissable Showborough House Garden Sculpture Exhibition. This shorter version of the walk will allow you plenty of time to visit and enjoy the superb selection of art and sculpture in the delightful gardens and meadow.
We will be walking mainly on good paths & tracks plus a bit of road, with one short busyish section to navigate. There are quite a few stiles and it could be a bit boggy in parts (especially after rain). It is a little hilly but there is nothing very big or steep. There may also be livestock (sheep/cattle) in a couple of fields.
Bring refreshments for a lunch/snack break and please ensure you have your emergency contact details with you.
Note: This is a joint walk with Evesham Ramblers and Evesham Rambling Club. A longer version of this walk is scheduled for Thursday 16th May, but this longer version means that time to visit the exhibition will be a bit more limited
(see weblink below for a map of the route)
Parking is free at Showborough, as is entry to the gardens and art/sculpture exhibition. To get there you are advised to use Google maps. Set the location pin on Showborough House and follow the directions carefully. If SatNav is set using the postcode it will send you to Strensham services! Stewards will be on hand outside the gates to the parking and picnic field. W3W location for Showborough is flocking.lakeside.shameless.
There is a cash and Apple Pay honesty tea room in the Showborough garden and donations to the annual exhibition are of course very welcome. On the walk we will stop for a snack break, but there will also be time afterwards for people to picnic in the designated area in the parking meadow or to use the tea room and facilities, but only for purchases made there.
