We are the Cornwall South & West Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The rolling hills, high meadows and honey-stoned villages of the Cotswolds make it a marvellous place to explore in all seasons. Liam Reinhardt from Cornwall - South and West Ramblers is organising a short walking holiday in these hills, staying in Cheltenham. Only 10 places are available.
