Overview

We will be walking on the Worcester side of the hills overlooking the Cotswolds, and along woodland paths.  There are some gentle inclines but nothing too strenuous.  Just after half way we will stop at British camp where there is a cafe and toilets.  Our return will be over the hills with stunning views both sides of Wales and Worcestershire.  Again some inclines, but not too strenuous and no stiles either way.  It is very dry at the moment and can be a bit stony and slippery underfoot.  Walking poles are recommended.  There are plenty of places to lunch if you want to make a day of it.
