A wonderful circular winter walk through woodland and along the river’s edge. A moderate 5¾ mile ramble, the walk starts at Goodrich Village Hall and follows the delightful riverbank for more than two miles, around the apex of the river’s bend, opposite Yat Rock, and takes in the memorial in Tent Meadow to The Eleven who lost their lives in Halifax Flight V9977 on June 7, 1942.
While there is one long arable field in this lovely walk, it is always very well maintained and suitable for winter. I know for certain that lots of people have done this walk from the Black Swan and enjoyed it ... An easy 4½ mile walk with surprises. Manor houses, lake, delightful wood, wonderful views, and, though there is one long arable field, it is always very well maintained and suitable for a winter walk. Mostly there and back with one minor climb, starting from The Black Swan, where, while his trusted lieutenant was directing affairs from a tent on top of Aconbury Hill, it seems Oliver Cromwell was drinking with his cronies. One disgruntled Royalist does seem to have reared his head from that direction, taking a pot-shot at Cromwell through the window of the Black Swan. The shot went wide, the Roundhead survived, the soldier was hanged and his ghost now walks the 14th century inn at night.
