A walk from Dorsington
From St Peter’s church in Dorsington, follow the road signposted to Pebworth and Long Marston. On reaching wrought iron gates at the entrance to the Moat House on the left, turn right and follow the lane (Heart of England Way). On the right is the Dorsington Arboretum. Pass a sign for Udde Well Pond, a conservation area, and continue on the single-track lane between hedgerows and farmland, with pleasant views over pastoral Warwickshire, close to where it meets Worcestershire. Pass double gates at the entrance to a house and keep ahead on the right of way, which becomes a rough track.
When the Heart of England Way turns right, continue ahead on the track, passing a solitary stone-built house called Fox Covert. Pass through gates, break cover from the trees and look for the chimneys of Bickmarsh Hall Farm in the distance. On drawing level with its farm buildings and silos, turn left to cross a field.
The farmland track should be in line with the farm entrance. Cross a ditch on the far side of the field, enter the next pasture and on the right are the buildings of The Rough farm. Continue on a track and when you draw level with a clump of trees over on the right and a solitary dwelling away to the left across the field, turn left towards it. This is Little Dorsington.
Follow the hedge to a gate leading out to road and turn left. Pass the entrance to the farm on the left and return to Dorsington. On reaching the village pass some exquisite thatched cottages on the left before finishing the walk.
