We are the Evesham Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

An extended ramble through the attractive countryside round Alcester. Although quite long, the going is easy, on good paths and tracks and with no hills of note. Nice scenery, good variety and good views.
From the centre of Alcester, we follow the little River Arrow up to Coughton to meet a broad track, which we follow to New End and then carry on to reach Great Alne. From there we then continue, through Great Alne Mills, the hamlets of Walcote and Upton, past the attractive Haselor Church and then across fields and along tracks, back to Alcester.
There are few stiles and no steep or particularly slippery bits. We are likely to meet livestock (horses and cattle) in a couple of fields and there are a couple of busy roads to cross, but there is not much road walking. Suitable for well-behaved dogs on leads.
Bring refreshments. We will be stopping in Great Alne for a picnic lunch and will also have a couple of drinks stops on the way.
Note: this walk is the same as the one planned (ref EWF19) for the Evesham Walking Festival on 28th June. See weblink below for a map of the route.
Municipal car park (free) next to Waitrose, Alcester.
