Facing the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, with the Queen Elizabeth Inn on your right, go right, past the end of the pub. Pass several black-and-white houses, some of which are thatched. At a sharp left bend take a fingerpost to the right, passing beside a farm building. Turn sharp left at the end of this building, using gates to cross a concreted area; leave the farm through two more gates. Follow the right-hand field-edge. In the third field, after 40yds (37m), turn three-quarters right at a redundant stile, soon regaining your line. To the right is Bricklehampton Hall. Continue for three fields, crossing some quite rickety stiles and plank bridges over ditches. Reach a metal kissing gate to a track and turn left at Point 2 to walk uphill.

Once in woodland, briefly follow a level forestry road and fork left in 200yds (182m) to maintain line up through Cames Coomb. Cross the flat open meadow, Even Hill, to an obvious gate in stock fencing. Continue the climb along the well-trodden path, past Doctor’s Wood, through a gate. Beyond, veer left then right through a green hollow to a wooden gate into woodland. Don’t enter the wood but veer right then left to follow a stony track uphill beside woodland. In 110yds (100m), at a single post waymarker take the bridleway left to skirt the wood, not the route following the Wychavon Way.

Go through the gate and walk an easy 0.6 miles (1km) on a firm, fenced path, flanked by a steep wooded slope and open fields. Where the fence kinks there are gates on the right, and Wychavon Way indicators.

Go half left, into the woods, descending steadily on a wide bridle path. Leave this woodland for open meadow. Lower down, veer right, following single post waymarkers. Cross a wooden footbridge over a ditch. Continue descending through light woodland with bracken. At a fork in the path keep left to another footbridge. Here go left, alongside a wire fence, passing a long and narrow pond on your right-hand side. Within 100yds (91m) of this pond, reach a new metal gate.

Through this, turn left over a leaning stile and across a two-plank footbridge. Go three-quarters right in parkland with a large, dead tree in the middle. In the next, large field, veer left to find a stile between a garden hedge and small paddock. A wooded path crosses a decorative dammed pond to reach the churchyard and a return to the start.
