We start this pretty and varied walk from outside the old fire station in Northleach.  The last time we did this walk was in the winter snow and now we do it in the summer. We head out of Northleach on the Monarchs way to Farmington and Goms Hole before turning North to Cold Aston for Lunch. The Macmillan Way now takes us to the pretty villages of Turkdean and Hampnett before we cross the meadow to the cars.  There is an option for coffee at the Old Prison Café at the end.  We do encounter a small number of stiles and grass land but generally this walk is on made up tracks.

Please bring a packed lunch
