We are the East Radnor Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Circular walk mainly on open access land with some good views overlooking Kington and beyond following the contours of three hills plus some sheep/cow fields and a bit of woodland. The walk starts with a climb to the golf course on Bradnor Hill, not steep just a bit long. After that we pick up the Offa's Dyke long distance path including walking along a part of Offa's Dyke itself as it crosses Rushock Hill. We then drop down to circle around Herrock Hill where there were some good spots for lunch. Finally there is a big curve around Rushock Hill back to the start.
There are some steepish slopes that could be muddy so bring poles if you use them, boots are a must! During the recce there were a couple of patches of fallen crab apples which was like walking on marbles, in other places there were fallen branches to navigate and a fair amount of (dead) Bracken. There are a couple of styles to climb, one of which was a bit wobbly.
Remember to bring your lunch and something to drink water/coffee/tea/water. I don't want anyone getting dehydrated so bring plenty of water.
This is a minor road just off the A44 Kington bypass with space for half dozen cars or so, so please car share where possible. There may also be places around Kington Church about 5 minutes walk from the start.
