Overview

WALK DESCRIPTION: Figure of eight walk. Morning 4.5 miles, afternoon 2 or 3 miles. Afternoon optional, pub lunch optional. If bringing a picnic, there are benches on the village green. Morning walk is on field paths, tracks and lanes, mostly easy walking, but could be muddy through the woodland at Coughton Park. No stiles. Afternoon may be altered due to blocked paths, but expected to be similar terrain to the morning. The Green Dragon is an 18th century pub with exposed beams and a cosy ambience, and was once run by Tony Hancock’s mother. A good quality food menu with regular pub fare is offered. For real ale enthusiasts it has 4 hand-pumps, but likely only to have two ales on at any one time.
