Worcester Ramblers: "Cutnall Green, Rushock and a 'Whole lotta love' tomorrow" 5 Feb 2026

We started the walk at the Chequers pub at Cutnall Green

Th coffee stop was at the St Michael and All Angel's church at Rushock where the Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham, has his final resting place

The 6.7 mile walk in 2.5 hours included the villages of Elmley Lovett, Rushock and Bryan's Green

Although it was considered impossible for it to be muddier than the previous Thursday walk this walk managed it!

Worcester Ramblers long walk from Temple Guiting 31 Jan 2026

Having done short Worcester walks until now i decided to try a longer One. It was to be a 10 mile walk.

The forecast on Friday was for rain all Saturday. However Saturday arrived and the forecast changed to rain starting at 1230, so I decided to go. Heeding the warning from the leader,  I told Google maps to take me to Temple guiting school, which was just over the wall from the Village Hall
The walk started at Temple Guiting village hall.  Nine walkers arrived, then the car park filled up with those going on a turkey shoot, They were still setting up on site as we walked past the target area. It was here that we encountered three Reeves Pheasants who came across to have a conversation!

The walk progressed through Ward, then Taddington (NOT Toddington!) Then to Stanway, where the avenue of trees, planted over many years by the Stanway Hall estate was impressive

At the end of the trees was the monument, where we stopped for Lunch.  

Unfortunately so did a heavy rainstorm, which soaked us while we walked to Stumps Cross. The climb up Waterloo Larch was a muddy scramble but it dried out on the high ground enabling us to get back to the Village hall by which time the mud was drying!

10.5 miles in 4.25 hours:-
