Overview

We begin in Norton, crossing fields toward the River Severn at Wainlode, before climbing steeply to the top of Sandhurst Hill, where we hope to enjoy some beautiful views. We then descend to rejoin the River Severn, before heading east across fields through Sandhurst and Wallsworth, making our return to Norton.
