Heart of England Way Association

Began 4.11 mile circular walk from the Coach and Horses, Weatheroak on a beautiful sunny spring day. Plenty of open countryside adorned with blossom and the beginning of bluebells about to flower.

We started the longer Sunday walks today.
Leaving The Gardeners Arms car park, set off on a 6 mile plus walk. Through the fields and up to Alderton Hill, certainly warming us up on a chilly but dry morning. Turning east round the hill then down towards Naunton Farm here picking up the Winchcombe Way. Setting out sites north for Dumbleton. Breaking for lunch in Dumbleton we found a very comfortable shelter. Before returning west back round Dumbleton Hill still on the Winchcombe Way.
Bill finally lead the six of us back to Alderton, for a drink in The Gardeners Arms.

Started the new year with 10 bright and eager members on freezing cold Wednesday morning. Bill led the walk from the Bulls head car park in Meriden, crossing the B4104 and on towards Four Oaks. Minor change to route as part of the section was flooded. On the return we pick up Alan's section of the HOEW leading to the Church at Church Farm, Meriden. Then following the road back in to Meriden.
Finished with a very enjoyable lunch at the Strawberry Bank.
