Description
Route follows Geopark Way from Ledbury. Varied paths, some woodland, some open field. Lots of climbing until getting to the Obelisk in Eastnor Deer Park. Leaves the Geopark Way to take footpaths through old quarry on the Herefordshire - Worcestershire Border. From there, the route is a combination of lanes and farmland. Lanes are quiet and with good sightlines as well plenty of opportunity to step over. Final section into Upton upon Severn follows the pavement of the A38 into the town. Steps, stiles and kissing gates throughout. From Ledbury, cafe at Deer Park (2.82km), kiosk at The Gullet (6.56km) and pub on the B4208 as you cross it (8.91km - almost exactly half way). Pubs and cafes at either end. Railway station and buses in Ledbury, buses from Upton upon Severn. Not many links to public transport en route

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
