1. Route: Honeybourne to Chipping Campden ("Honchi one") The opening photo shows the walk's start at the Gate Inn in the centre of Honeybourne, looking south down Weston Road in the direction of travel. Initially there is pedestrian pavement on both sides of the road, but within 50 metres, there is only pavement on the right-hand side. This too runs out after another 200 metres (see photo 2). 0 km from start — 19 May 2021
