Overview

A 10 mile circular walk starting from the village of Badminton. This walk takes in parts of the Badminton Park Estate, woodland, fields with lovely views, plenty of wildlife, Old Sodbury Hill Fort, the aptly named Hill Lane and several of the Old Sodbury rail tunnel vent shafts. Those who wish to extend the walk are very welcome to join for a walk round the Deer Park at the end 🦌 Walking boots recommended. We're forecast rain for several days before, so sections of the walk could be very muddy. Some of the walk is exposed - suncream advised. Bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink. We'll stop at the Dog Inn at Old Sodbury approx half way through the walk.
