Walk directions

Begin beside the telephone box, now a community book exchange in Great Comberton. Follow Church Street. Go through the churchyard; leave by an old iron kissing gate. At the road, go down the ‘11%’ gradient. In the dip find a metal gate. Ascend two fields (this bit is quite strenuous), with a stream on your left-hand side. In the third field, there is a (wobbly) signpost after 90yds (82m).

Turn right, initially beside trees. Soon a good farm track strikes across meadow. Ahead is a perfect Malvern Hills view. Follow waymarkers for the next 1.5 miles (2.4km), taking the gravel driveway beside Woollas Hall and skirting St Catherine’s Farm. Take a hard track, later tarmac, down into Bredon’s Norton. After the first few houses, you reach a junction.

About the area
Worcestershire is a county of rolling hills, save for the flat Vale of Evesham in the east and the prominent spine of the Malverns in the west. Nearly all of the land is worked in some way; arable farming predominates – oilseed rape, cereals and potatoes – but there are concentrated areas of specific land uses, such as market gardening and plum growing.
