'Two fascinating routes that take you around what is often referred to as "Elgar Country".  The Elgar Walk and Elgar Drive both give a fascinating insight into the streets and countryside that Elgar knew so well.' With effect from 5.00pm on Sunday 18th September, The Elgar Birthplace Museum is closed to the public in order to effect a smooth handover to the National Trust.  It is expected that the National Trust will re-open Elgar’s Birthplace in early spring 2017.

'Long-distance footpath in England that approximates the escape route taken by King Charles II in 1651 after being defeated in the Battle of Worcester. From its starting point at Worcester the route travels north to Boscobel and then south to Stratford upon Avon. It then continues south to Stow on the Wold before turning south west towards Bristol via Cirencester. South of Bristol the route is almost directly south across the Mendip Hills to Wells and then on through Somerset almost to Yeovil and then south west to Charmouth.There is then a short section along the Dorset coast before turning north again to Yeovil, before turning east across the Downs to Brighton and Shoreham-by-Sea.'

'The River Teme flows from its source just inside the Welsh border on Cilfaesty Hill, four miles south of Newtown, Powys for approximately 75 miles to its confluence with the River Severn on the southern extremity of the boundary of the loyal city of Worcester. The Way described in this book is a route of just under one hundred miles following the river from its mouth, by a modem midland city with a troubled historic background, to its source high on the side of a lonely mystic welsh hillside; a journey twisting through some of the most beautiful, quiet and unspoilt countryside in our lovely country. The views, the countryside and the villages along the route will delight followers on the Way.'
