Overview

Enjoy a walk of around 8 miles 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. Admission and parking are free, donations welcome. www.showborough.com

 Our route takes us via Twyning, Church End and Puckrup Hall golf course to Bow Bridge.  We then follow Mythe Brook towards Tewkesbury through the Mythe Railway nature reserve to join the Severn at Mythe Bridge. We return to Twyning via fields and tracks with views across the Avon towards the Cotswolds.  The distance from Crabbs Cross is 30 miles.  Showborough does also have an outdoor tea room (tea, coffee, cake, refreshments etc) and toilets, as well as the exhibition.
