This circular walk starts at Hanbury Church, which is also that of 'St Stephen Church, Ambridge', well-known to listeners of the BBC Radio 4 drama 'The Archers'. Three weddings were recorded here in 1955, 1988 and 1994. If you are as lucky as me to arrive on a clear sunny day, take a while to walk around the outside of the church and enjoy the stunning views from the churchyard across to Bredon Hill and the Cotswolds to the south and the Severn Valley and the Malverns to the west.

Crossing the Worcestershire countryside down to Hanbury Hall, views can be seen across to the Malverns. The walk then heads off across fields towards Woolmere Green before making its way towards The Jinny Ring Craft Centre. Many craft shops can be found here, including glass-blowing, violin-making etc. There are excellent eating facilities at reasonable prices, with views of the Malvern Hills. On leaving the Jinney Ring, the walk makes its way up to Piper's Hill Wood before returning to Hanbury Church.
