This is a 9.5 mile walk through some lovely countryside in the Teme Valley, starting from Shelsley Beauchamp Village Hall. The walk goes across country in a loop, returning to the River Teme, and then crosses the river at Ham Bridge. From here, there is a stiff climb up Clifton Hill (steep and fairly strenuous) to Clifton on Teme. From here the walk is fairly undulating, and goes towards Burton Court, through Ayton's Heath and back across mainly flat countryside to the other side of Clifton Hill, where it descends down to the river, then across New Mill Bridge and back to Shelsley Beauchamp.
If the weather is good there will be some lovely views, and Clfton-on-Teme is a very pretty village. It is a beautiful and quiet part of "Old" Worcestershire.
Please make sure you arrive in plenty of time for the start of the walk.
