Walked from Upton to Tewkesbury. I will give it a qualified thumbs up, as most of it is enjoyable, but the section through the quarry workings needs updating to reflect the diversion route and there are a couple of other places where the plotting is a bit too loose, so I have submitted UPTTEW 3, which unlike UPTTEW 2 retains the original route under Mythe Bridge and past the water works on the Severn Way. For a more detailed review with pictures see UPTTEW 3.

I did this walk from Upton to Tewkesbury. On the day I walked it I couldn't obviously see access under (or down from) Mythe Bridge (A438), so I decided to make use of the footpath to the east of Mythe Road (A38) instead.

It was not hard to work out, but on the day I walked I couldn't quite make this route work. I'd marking my review as a "maybe" but if someone can confirm the route works I'll update my review.

Otherwise this is a great route! Loved walking along the river, through some beautiful grasses and the lane walking was good for me too.

(Photos to follow).

    I had no real trouble finding the path under Mythe Bridge - I agree it could do with a clear sign though

Very enjoyable walk, beautiful views of the Severn and Malvern hills. Even the bit that goes through a working quarry was a little bit exciting. Plenty of lovely pubs at either end, there is one at Ripple (The Railway) but wasn't open when I went. But it was a January Monday.
