Walking in Worcestershire (County S.)

by David Hunter (Author)

Synopsis

This volume explores the length and breadth of a county rich in scenic pleasures. There are over forty routes to suit walkers of all abilities. Enjoy the all-embracing views from the Clent and Lickey Hills, the incomparable Malverns and the heights of Bredon. Explore the rivers where heron, kingfisher and wild fowl add to the pleasures of a gentle stroll, or go deep in hidden, almost secret, valleys. From the slopes above the Teme Valley watch buzzards soar, or go quietly through woodland hoping for a glimpse of deer. The author includes background histories of many of the towns and villages and some of the people who once lived there. A Useful Information section includes places of interest, picnic sites, country parks and travel contact numbers.

Author Bio
David Hunter was for many years one of the great army of London commuters, working as a credit manager for a group of department stores and later as treasurer of a large advertising agency. During this time he escaped whenever possible to walk in the Chiltern hills and the North Downs, and made frequent forays along the Ridgeway National Trail. He also wrote features for outdoor and other magazines, and developed his interest in photography, contributing to several photographic libraries. David and his wife, Vera, moved to Worcester and began walking in the Malverns and around Bredon Hill and the hills south of Birmingham, as well as exploring the territory of the rivers Severn and Wye. He has a particular affection for Shropshire and the Welsh border country. David has had a number of books published, including five guides for Cicerone.
