Fine church with lovely grounds, made from the local sandstone.

A secluded nature reserve alongside the Teme, quite open at one end and enclosed and overgrown at the Martley end.

Well kept footpaths through the woods. Trail along the Teme bank, or higher up the valley. Off road shoes essential, mind your step for some tree roots.

Quite a busy bridge on B-road to Tenbury. However, water in River Teme is brilliant as always, so may be worth stopping right before the bridge.

Little, though lovely town, on the border of Shropshire and Worcestershire counties. Very beautiful high street with some cafés

Great to stop for a coffee or lunch, plenty of pubs and little cafes on the high street. Pembroke House or the Fountain Inn have some really good lunch menus. If you fancy a hill challenge you can take the road from Tenbury to Clee Hill.
