Walk Description: the walk starts from the National Trust carpark at Baddesley Clinton, B93 0DQ. and is approx. 7.5 miles long. The walk follows two alternative routes for The Heart of England Way which make a circular walk.

Leave the carpark as if visiting the Manor House, keep to the left of the ticket office and turn left just before reaching a wall, the HoE Way is signed, walk down an enclosed path to a gate leading to the churchyard, pass to the right of the church to a gate opening on to a wide track. Just past the gate go right through another gate into a field and proceed along the left-hand edge of the field, when you arrive at a fork in the path keep to the left following HoE Way signs and make sure the hedge is close on your right.
