A walk across low-lying boulder-clay farmland with relatively little variety, much of it on the Herefordshire Trail; some fields are difficult to cross because of mud, standing crops or ploughing right up to the hedge line. Takes you high in places for good views; badly maintained stiles and boggy bridges and one tricky traveller's-site crossing. Follows the Herefordshire Trail for much of its length. The route is shadowed by a railway line and a village bus route, useful for splitting the walk. Passes nationally significant glacial landforms (moraines) from the last ice advance.

Lunch: A shop in Richard's Castle; the Castle Inn there does not appear to be open.

Warnings: Several poorly marked and confusing sections, especially around Moor Park School and Burnt House Farm, with no working gates (climbing required), little signage and awkward boundary crossings. Crosses the Manchester–Cardiff railway line twice. Can be muddy.
