Overview

Join Evesham Ramblers and Evesham Rambling Club for a seven mile walk in the lovely countryside around Twyning, followed by a visit to Showborough House Garden Sculpture Exhibition, where you can view an incredible 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. 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 walk is a shorter version of the walk that is scheduled for Sunday 5th May, which will allow participants more time to visit the house and gardens at Showborough.
