A walk which begins by going up onto Bromyards Downs, and heading west towards Bringsty Common, before turning north and going to the small, ancient hamlet of Edvin Loach. From here the walk winds its way back to the downs.
There is plenty of up and down along the way, with two stiff climbs. The walk goes across the downs, farmland, and some very quiet country lanes. There is some beautiful countryside, and great views in a very remote part of Worcestershire. Wear stiff boots and bring your walking sticks! There is some mud, but due to the recent weather it is slowly drying up.
