Overview

7 miles. 500 ft ascent. This is a circular walk starting and finishing at Hackman’s Gate near Blakedown Worcestershire. Good field paths and lanes. We start at the layby on A450 and head clockwise for 1.5 miles to meet the A450 again. We cross over the road and walk north west towards Blakedown to the pub The Old House at Home which will be our lunch stop. Walking north through Blakedown we reach the Churchill and Blakedown Golf Club where our path takes us through woods to the left of the golf course. When we meet Waggon Lane we turn right to the charming village of Churchill. A right turn south east passes Harbrough Hill and takes us back to the layby at Hackman’s Gate.
