Today’s walk around Croome in Worcestershire abounds in Wow! moments. We’ll experience commanding views of the Malverns as we tour three extraordinary follies designed by Capability Brown to emphasise the grandeur of the Earl of Coventry’s estate. There’s a lazy section of the upper Severn, a quaint half-timbered church and flower meadows, beautifully restored by the National Trust who now own Croome. You won’t need NT membership to enjoy Croome’s teashop or the public footpaths we’re using today.

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
