The route make extensive use of existing trails, notably the North Worcestershire path, the Worcester Birmingham Canal and the Wychavon Way These are the different phases of the walk, using mileages from the book. I understand that the route of the Wychavon Way has since been changed, so much of this no longer applies. Never mind.

Videos
There now follows three videos of the route largely shot from drones. These were created by Tim Shepherd. They do not concentrate on sites connected with Kenelm and the third video takes a rather different route, I think just following the old Wychavon Way to Winchcombe, thereby missing out, for instances, St Kenelm’s Well and Sudeley Castle. Seems a shame to me.
