Overview

Join us for a walk from Elmley Castle, outside the Queen Elizabeth for a circular walk of the plateau before a steady descent from Parson's folly which crowns the highest point.  We will take in splendid views of Worcestershire and the Banbury stone, joining the Wychavon way along the route.
