great segment. full of steps and winding narrow path. I was lucky I went when it was dry as there are clear signs this section is a nightmare when muddy.

Good boots required

Odda's Chapel is one of the most complete surviving Saxon churches in England. The Grade I-listed chapel was built in 1056 for Earl Odda, a relation of Edward the Confessor. Astonishingly, it was incorporated into a farmhouse during the 17th century, with a kitchen in the nave and a bedroom in the chancel. Fortunately, it was rediscovered in 1865. The chapel is now in the care of English Heritage. It is free to visit.

St Mary’s is a Grade I-listed church in Deerhurst village, set within glorious countryside by the River Severn. The oldest parts of the church are the nave and chancel, which were built in the 8th century. The rest of the church was developed over the following 700 years and it was restored in the 19th century.

Due to the location near the River Severn, there is a floodgate at the entrance to the church grounds. During the winter or heavy rainfall, the floodgates might be closed.

There was a Benedictine monastery and manor at Deerhurst by 804. Around 1060 King Edward the Confessor divided the manor, giving the monastery one hide (approx 120 acres / 49 hectares) of land to the Abbey of St Denis in France, making it an alien priory.

The site isn't far from the River Severn and might be cut off if the Severn floods in winter. Flood gates are located just before you reach the chantry.
