This is a lovely walk, starting and finishing by Eckington bridge. This walk takes you counter clockwise along the River Avon before turning back into the village. In winter, the river does flood, so walk with care.

Always fun when you have to go wading through crops. Other farmers manage to work out how to manage footpaths, so why can't they all? My least favourite is Oil Seed Rape, grows to head height, is very dense and because it grows in the Spring holds the morning dew so you get soaked as well!

This is nice walk that manages to bag you a peak and follows Badsey Brook. However, you do have to cross the Evesham bypass (A46) twice. The first time there is no island in the road, but time it right the traffic heading to Evesham can be slow moving. The second time there is an island half way across

This is a lovely walk from the small village of Sopley down to Burton and back. We walked via three pubs but could have added a fourth - The Bear of Burton. During our stay in Sopley the Woolpack was closed for refurb., but we did it at the Fishermans and Lamb. Food was great in both and the Lamb's portion sizes are a dream.

This was a lovely couple of hours dodging the rain, which limited the amount of the grounds we could walk. Mottisfont is built from the old Abbey that stood here and you can still see signs of the Abbey within the house itself. There are two places to eat/drink, one in the house and the other in the

Starting and finishing at Eckington Bridge. This walk is similar to my other Eckington Walk, but this walk goes clockwise along the River Avon, before turning back towards the village. This walk also gives you the opportunity to extend the walk and climb Bredon Hill, if you want to tick off a peak.
