We are the Kingswood Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A lovely stroll through woods, along lanes and river banks. We walk through part of Tortworth Arboretum, past Leyhill Prison and visit the Tortworth Sweet Chestnut which may well be the oldest specimen in the country. We follow the Little Avon River and after a short climb up the road we drop down through the woods, through some fields and back to the start.
We can then drive back avoiding the motorway, stopping for a drink in one of the pubs along the way.
The drop down through the woods could be muddy but apart from that the walk is relatively mud free.
Bring a drink and snack as we will have a short break on the bridge so we can play poo sticks!
Take the A38 or M5 north from Bristol to junction 14, then right on B4509 signposted Wotton-Under-Edge. Layby on right, 500 metres from motorway.
