Caer Caradoc
Classic Hill Walk - start from free parking laybys on the road at Hazler. You will be cursing me for the stiff climb at first but will hopefully love the views and the easy ridge walking once on the top.

The Holdgate Sheela-Na-Gig
Deep in the wilds of Shropshire - indeed, following the Shropshire Way out of the Corvedale Valley up onto Wenlock Ridge. But not without it's interest.
The tiny church of Holdgate has a Sheela-Na-Gig on the south wall. If you haven't seen one before, you wont forget it!
Then there…

Pole Bank and Light Hollow Spout
An excellent walk (the all are here) - the starting point is (was) a secret free car park with direct access through the field and woods (not marked on the OS Map) into the hills.
Perfect walk - gentle climbs leading to amazing views.

Pershore Bridges
A figure of 8 walk, starting from the bus stop in town.
Agricultural fields under the shadow of Bredon Hill.
A history trail around Wick. Wyke Manor is impressive and has an interesting/tragic story. Looks Tudor, was actually remodelled in 1923.
GPX failed - so part manually recreated.

Hackney
A route from Joolz Splendid London Pub Walks.
Public transport not the easiest - so I start at Bethnal Green Tube, through Victoria Park and then the streets of Hackney. The guide also points out cultural things of interest - Umit and Son, the stand alone church tower, the town…

Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury
Walk 2 from "London's Hidden Walks".
The only trouble with London is there is so much of interest on every street.
This covers;
Bohemian Pubs
Hawksmoor Churches
A shop that only sells Umbrellas. And walking sticks.
Children's hospitals
Georgian and early Victorian architecture, including some fine squares.
The house where…

Stourbridge Murder Walk with the Ramblers
Local folklore says the bridge at the start of the walk was the scene of a 1906 murder (dudleynews.co.uk/news/829456.murder-mystery-reopened)
An interesting walk through industrial wastelands and into woodland along the River Stour.
Then the sky went red, then black and an unexpected thunderstorm hit. We waited in a…

Greater Manchester Ringway - Stage 17
Leigh to Irlam on Stage 17/20 of the Greater Manchester Ringway.
Nothing to set the pulse raising on this leg, which follows a canal, the Glazebrook trail and a rather unnecessary circuit of a peat bog.

Greater Manchester Ringway - Stage 16
This is the final quarter of the Ringway - known on the official guide as "The Western Wind-down".
It's incredibly gentle (to the point of boring) walking along canals, often dissecting huge bodies of water, known locally as flashes.
Nothing of real interest (pubs) was passed.

On the Trail of Eliza Tinsley
Sedgley - not the easiest place to get to on public transport. Worth it for the pubs.
I am here to find evidence of Eliza Tinsley, following a West Midlands History Podcast. She was a Victorian widow and business owner, providing work for 4000 Black Country Workers.
I found her…

Rail Trail - The Hawthorns to the Jewellery Quarter
Another stage on my plan to walk between Midland Railway Stations.
Fortunately, this urban and industrial area is divided by the Birmingham Canal. The Soho Loop offers a chance to read on on the Winson Green Island - where the Victorians housed the insane, the criminals and the poor.
The…

Thatched Tavern, Honeybourne
Honeybourne - handily on the Worcester-Oxford rail line. It's agricultural land of various quality - your enjoyment will probably depend on the season. Usually mud, but in a heatwave, we had head height corn fields and tinder dry spiky plants gone to seed fields to navigate. The PROW through strawberry…

King Alfred's Tower to Stourton
A fine forest walk and around the National Trust Stourton Estate - a pub and a cafe available for all.
Architectural gems at every turn.
Then to Six Well's Valley and the source of the Stour.
GPX recorded in a different app and doesn't have duration/timings.
