Overview

A moderate but energetic walk of 10 miles starting from the Primary School CP in Peterchurch. We will leave Peterchurch on a quiet road to start the gradual ascent towards Vagar Hill. We then cross fields, which will be muddy in places, before reaching Vagar Hill where there are far reaching views of the Golden Valley to the east and the Black Mountains to the west.  We return to Peterchurch on part of the Herefordshire Trail.
