We are the Evesham Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Enjoy an excellent 7 or 10 mile walk (both options will be on offer) in the lovely countryside around Showborough and Twyning, followed by the opportunity to visit the Showborough House Garden Sculpture Exhibition, to view the incredible selection of art and sculpture in the delightful gardens there.
Note: This is the last of our 4 visits to Showborough.
Our shorter 7 mile walk takes us on a route via Twyning, Church End and Shuthonger Common. We will have a coffee/snack break at Mythe Brook near the Severn and should be back at Showborough in good time to enjoy a picnic lunch there (picnics in the meadow/parking area only please). Showborough does also have an outdoor tea room (tea, coffee, cake, refreshments etc) and toilets, as well as the exhibition.
The longer 10 mile walk follows much the same route as the shorter walk but includes an extension going via Puckrup Golf club where we will enjoy a coffee break and will also include a longer break in order to allow us time to enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the Avon and Tewkesbury after the Mythe Bridge. At Twyning there will be the option to walk along the quiet lane back to Showborough or climb again 'the high road'
Most of the walk is on good paths & tracks, plus a bit of road. There are quite a few stiles and it is fairly undulating, but there is nothing very big or steep. We could meet some livestock in a couple of fields.
NB: Please note earlier start time of 9:30. This is to allow those on the longer walk time to visit the exhibition (which closes at 4:30 pm)
Parking is free at Showborough, as is entry to the gardens and art/sculpture exhibition. To get there you are advised to use Google maps. Set the location pin on Showborough House and follow the directions carefully. If SatNav is set using the postcode it will send you to Strensham services!
