'This section of the Worcestershire Ramblers is the executive comittee that liaises with head office, our local groups and other agencies to enhance the walking experience for everyone ... Currently there are over one thousand members in the Area.'
'Worcestershire has some fantastic walking routes within the county, from short urban routes around the towns, to long way-marked trails through the beautiful countryside. The County Council is interested in ideas from members of the public to improve the walking network in Worcestershire. We currently operate a scoring system for prioritising future projects, which includes assessments based on value for money, deliverability, support and demand ... '
Worcestershire Walks and Countryside 'Worcestershire has more than 3000 miles of footpaths and bridleways through spectacular countryside, including the Malvern Hills which has 100 miles for walking, cycling and horse riding. The county of Worcestershire has one of the most varied and panoramic landscapes to be found anywhere in England ... countryside just waiting to be explored.'
'In 1995, the Group published a book detailing 14 station to station walks all the way from Hereford to Oxford. 2000 copies of the fully illustrated book were printed and, almost all have now been sold. A second book, featuring walks in the opposite direction, was published in September 2009. This is available from local stations or, post free, from the Membership Secretary, to CLPG members, at a reduced price of £6.00.' ALERT At the time of Review, I could not find these books any longer listed on the CLPG Website.
'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.'
'Each year members of the Worcestershire Bat Group host a number of public bat walks, but just what is a bat walk, and what can you expect if you come along to one, and what should you bring to help you enjoy the evening? ...'

With nearly 16,000 individual public rights of way there is a considerable range of issues to address including vegetation growth, signposting and waymarking, repair and replacement of bridges, blocked paths, stiles and gates in need of repair and drainage and surfacing problems.'
