On my way back home from the south coast I decided to climb Walton Hill, so I parked in a lay-by between Clent and the road over St. Kenelm’s Pass. Initially I took a short detour by climbing up to the shoulder of the unnamed 309m hill opposite Walton Hill, where there was a view indicator and good views over the Malvern and South Shropshire Hills, and the Cotswolds. After descending back to the road, I walked along it to Walton Hill Lane. There was a car park here, which is the quickest jumping off point for Walton Hill. A path went directly to the trig on the summit and gave views over the urban conurbation. The summit area was more wooded than the unnamed hill to the north west, so wasn’t as good a viewpoint. I retraced by steps to the car, which I reached 50 minutes after setting out. On turning on the radio I found that England had suddenly and dramatically won the Ashes.
