A Year of Walks - Three Choirs Counties

by: Roy Woodcock
The Three Choirs Counties comprise Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire and this selection of walks takes twelve widely distributed locations, one for each month of the year, looking for outstanding natural history and countryside as well as architectural interest. Each of the walks is described for a particular month, but all of them are good walks for any time of the year. They are not strenuous or arduous but are designed to provide fresh air and exercise while admiring features on the route. Comments on weather, landscape and natural history provide additional information and interest.
Each location provides two short walks (or occasionally three) giving a couple of hours of gentle walking, and these can be joined together to provide longer walks. Clear route directions and sketch maps are provided for all the walks together with a practical fact file giving distances, starting points, maps, access, public transport and refreshment details.
The walk locations are: Lickeys and Bittell Reservoirs; Painswick and Slad; Dymock and Kempley; Evesham, Charlton and Cropthorne; Malvern Hills and the Langdale Woods; Symonds Yat; Bishops Frome; Pembridge, Eardisland and Staunton on Arrow; Broadway, Stanton and Buckland; Nagshead in the Forest of Dean; Bodenham, Dinmore Hill and Queenswood; Cotswold Water Park.
