The New 2022 Jubilee Walks
The Queens Walk
A short walk within the village for the Jubilee celebrations on 5 June. It can be done in two halves. There are 25 points of interest on two loops; 11 on one and 14 on the other. At each point of interest you will find a letter, which will spell two royal words, one for each loop of the walk. There will be a (very) small prize for each one correctly solved.
Start: both walks start at the phonebox
Finish, the Bishop’s pavilion, by 3 pm, in time for the Jubilee tea (and cake)
Distance: the northern route by Padley Chapel, 2.14 miles 225 ft elevation
