Overview

This is a longer walk than usual but taken at a steady pace should suit everyone. We head over to the Eastnor Deer park, the British Camp, Colwall Station, Oyster Hill and Frith Wood. There are some steep climbs up on to British Camp and the other hills with 645m of climbing in total which we will take steadily. There should be great views from British Camp and rolling countryside all day.
