Overview

A figure of 8 walk from Ombersley. The first section goes down to, and along, the Severn. We leave the Severn after 2-3 miles to walk up to Uphampton and then back to Ombersley. We will have coffee somewhere along the river and lunch in the churchyard at Ombersley. The second loop goes south and  crosses the A449 twice to arrive back in Ombersley.

It is a fairly flat walk with some mud. There is an option to just walk the first 6 miles or to do the whole 9 miles. There is a fallen tree along the river which needs to be climbed over which is a bit awkward. Some nice views.
