An extended 9 mile walk in the lovely countryside around Twyning, with the option afterwards for a visit to the Showborough House Garden Sculpture Exhibition, where you can view an incredible selection of art and sculpture in the delightful gardens and meadow.
We will be walking mainly on good paths & tracks plus some road, with one short busyish section to navigate. There are quite a few stiles (approx. 20). It is a little hilly but there is nothing very big or steep. There may be livestock (sheep/cattle) in a couple of fields.
Bring refreshments for a lunch/snack break and please ensure you have your emergency contact details with you.
Note: A shorter version of this walk is scheduled for Thursday 16th May, which will allow participants more time to visit the house and gardens at Showborough. This walk is being carried out as a joint walk with Evesham Ramblers and Evesham Rambling Club.

There is a cash and Apple Pay honesty tea room in the Showborough garden and donations to the annual exhibition are of course very welcome.
