WALKERS taking a stroll on a 40-mile route now have a number of new spots to rest their weary feet.

Worcestershire County Council has installed eight rustic oak benches at various intervals along the Wychavon Way in a project funded by the Severn Waste Environmental Fund.

The path was developed as a partnership between Wychavon District Council and Worcestershire County Council, starting in Droitwich and finishing in Broadway, taking in Pershore and Bredon Hill through a variety of landscapes.
