Overview

This walk starts at the picturesque town of Upton upon Severn.  We start by visiting the town's 13th century church tower, now known as "The Pepperpot" due to its octagonal culpola.  Following that, the main sights include the Malvern Hills, the river Severn, Portman's Farm (home to lots of horses), Eastington Hall (a Tudor mansion) and Clive's Fruit Farm. We will stop at the fruit farm near the end of the walk for refreshments, unless it is busy, in which case there are plenty of other options in Upton itself.
