A new collaboration to help develop a set of 'Rail Trails' in the region has just begun between the Worcestershire Community Rail Partnership, the Worcester Ramblers and the University of Worcester's School of Arts.
The trails will be developed utilising the existing knowledge of the area's walking routes supplied by Worcester Ramblers' Lyndon Bracewell (centre), the walking guide design and mapping expertise supplied through project buy-out of University Graphic Design Lecturer Andy Stevenson (left) and the funding support of the Worcestershire Community Rail Partnership represented here by Chairman William Whiting (right).
The team are aiming to have an initial tranche of outputs ready as downloadable .pdf guide sheets and corresponding GPX files that can be used on walking apps in the new year.
The new walking trails will run roughly in parallel with the area of track in the region known as the 'Cotswold Line' initially between Malvern, Worcester and Honeybourne with potential extensions north of the city being considered now too.
