September challenge: the details

[kake]

OK! So I mentioned there would be another Flâneurs challenge, and here it is.

The instructions for the June challenge were relatively complicated, so I decided to do a simpler one this time.

To participate in the September challenge:

• Leave a top-level comment on this post, stating the name of the city/town you'll be doing your challenge in. (You can leave more than one comment if you want to walk in more than one place.)
• Wait for September, during which time hopefully other community members will reply to the comment as described below, giving you a selection of starting points for your walk.
• Once it's September, pick one of the starting points you've been given, do a walk of any length or type starting from that point, and report back.

To help others complete their September challenge:

• Choose one of the top-level comments on this post which contain the name of a town/city.
• Use an atlas, online map, etc, to select a starting point within that town/city. You can choose a point that you think will result in a pleasant walk, a challenging walk, a walk that's likely to produce a report that you'll find interesting, any criteria you like.
• Leave a comment specifying your chosen point, and optionally the criteria you used to choose it.

Two suggestions:

(a) The cider museum, because cider is delicious.

(b) Wherever the bus to Much Dewchurch departs from, because that's where my first girlfriend lived.

I've only been to Hereford twice but I have a theory that Hereford is the closest point at which Terry Pratchett's Discworld overlaps with our roundworld... and the Cider Museum seems determined to prove me correct. Apparently they were given a charitable bequest to purchase a Steinway concert grand piano:

Every cider museum should have one!

And, of course, they're home to the King Offa Distillery, which I can only read with a ' in front.

Much Dewchurch, otoh, seems like a scary place and possibly the inspiration for Hot Fuzz:

As far as I could tell, the highlight of social life in Much Dewchurch involved going to Wormelow...
