Discovery Walks in Worcestershire

Brian Conduit

Step into Worcestershire's past with this new Discovery Walks guide! These 30 circular walks are evenly spaced across the varied terrain of the county giving you an excellent introduction to Worcestershire's landscape. Each route visits a heritage site, market town or village so you'll learn all about the area's cultural life too.

Worcestershire occupies the very heart of England and at the heart of the county is its grandest building. Worcester Cathedral is known the world over, not least because of its role as the backcloth to what is generally regarded as the finest view from any cricket ground in England.

Could there be a more English scene than this: that most English of games being played in the most English of settings, beside one of the country's foremost rivers, and all within sight of the hills that inspired much of the music of England's greatest composer, Elgar.

Concise but comprehensive information is given on directions, terrain, degree of difficulty and facilities - as well as an informative commentary to enhance your interest and enjoyment. In addition, some longer, more challenging routes are included to satisfy more ambitious or energetic walkers.

Get on the walking boots, because this glorious Worcestershire countryside and heritage can only be appreciated fully by exploring the county's network of public footpaths.
