Ronkswood Active Travel Routes

Ronkswood Active Travel Routes

These works form part of our commitment to improving walking and cycling routes across the county, and will include brand-new resurfaced routes; offering enhanced provision for cyclists and pedestrians travelling in the area and beyond.

We want your feedback

We would like your feedback on two proposed active travel routes.

Active travel routes provide practical, convenient ways of getting around, they also aim to encourage people to improve their health and fitness, help to reduce traffic congestion and enhance air quality.

These routes are being delivered in partnership with Worcester City Council.

Route one

Route one, will take you from Spetchley Road, round the back of Worcester Sixth Form College, past the Nunnery Wood Sports Complex towards Nunnery Lane. 

The proposed route then goes round next to the sports field and onto Newcastle Close, turning left on Chelmsford Drive towards Liverpool Road and linking into routes in Perry Wood Local Nature Reserve.

Route two

Route two, will take you from Spetchley Road up past St Richards Hospice and County Hall car park into the Worcester Woods Country Park, towards the Worcestershire Royal Hospital. 

The route will then arc round the hospital site, alongside Charles Hastings Way, and then link up with Newtown Road. The route then continues up Oakmont Drive, towards Woodgreen Drive, across the road, where a new Toucan Crossing will be installed, and up towards Lyppard Grange Local Nature Reserve.

The map above shows where two new active travel routes will be established in the area. The two routes are highlighted, one in pink and the other in orange. The pink route starts at Spetchley Road, runs round the back of the Worcester Sixth Form College and Nunnery Wood High School, next to the sports field and onto Newcastle Close. It then turns left onto Chelmsford Drive towards Liverpool Road before linking into the existing routes in Perry Wood Local Nature Reserve. The orange route starts on Spetchley Road, then heads up past St Richards Hospice and the County Hall car park into the Worcester Woods Country Park. The route then arcs around the hospital site, alongside Charles Hastings Way, before linking up with Newtown Road. The route continues up Oakmont Drive, across Woodgreen Drive, where a new Toucan Crossing will be installed, and up towards Lyppard Grange Local Nature Reserve.
