View of the River Avon from Cress Hill

Just a short walk from Welford is the little viewpoint of Cress Hill. At 54m it offers lovely views of the Avon.

Bredon Grange Lock

Highlight • Rest Area

A lovely peaceful leg of this route disturbed only by birdsong and the rush of the Avon through the weir on the other side of the lock. Ideal place for a rest stop on one of the benches provided.

The parish church of St Peter's is a Grade II* listed building built in 1764–1768

Dorsington Church, in the centre of the village, was built in 1745, and is in normal use. It stands adjacent to Moat house (WA1812), a large moated farmhouse.

St Peter, built 1758. Red and yellow chequered brick built possibly on the stone foundation of a preceding church. The windows have been victorianised.

My tip is......Don't start this walk from here. The original route on Komoot showed the start point as being at 'the bus station'. There isn't a bus station and there isn't any parking. This was the best, safest and nearest spot I could find. A small cut in outside the sewage treatment works 😳 I would recommend starting at Dorothy's Wood at the other end of this walk. There is a car park there that asks for donations rather than charging for parking. And it doesn't close until 9pm.
