Report

Good route which is reasonably direct and pleasant. Fairly easy to follow as much of it follows the North Worcestershire Path and is signposted. Small sections which are overgrown but largely flat and easy to walk. Passes through fields of sheep and horses so there are fairly long sections where dogs must be on a lead.

Two notes - first that the current .gpx has an error as you get to Redditch Road on the edge of Longbridge - just follow the curve of the main road around. Second, after the Peacock Pub (from Lon.) or approaching Brockhill lane (from Wyt) keep to the North Worc Path instead of taking the road - the gate to that path is two overgrown to pass.
