We will depart firstly walking along the river Severn to the racecourse before crossing the bridge and walking along rural roads onto the Three Choirs Way. We will pass close by to the birthplace of Elgar (National Trust Museum) and proceeding across fields and bridleways of the Monarch's Way to rejoin the river and returning to the starting point.
