Overview

Starting from the pretty village of Elmley Castle, this walk takes us up Bredon Hill and along the ridge via Banbury Stone Tower, with some far-reaching views if the weather is clear. We then descend via Ashton Under Hill, where there is the option of a pub stop, returning via Ashton Wood. This is a fairly hilly walk, but nothing too demanding.
