Walk Overview:
Join us for a 7.5-mile circular walk starting in the charming village of Ashton under Hill. We’ll begin with a relaxed stroll through the village and across gentle paths to Beckford. From here, we’ll climb gradually up the scenic Yellow Brick Road – a ridge track that rewards us with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.
Once we’ve enjoyed the panoramic sights, we’ll follow a steady descent back into Ashton under Hill, returning to where we began.

Occasionally, group photos may be taken during walks. The photographer will always tell you where these will be shared, such as Meetup, the 20s and 30s members’ WhatsApp group, or for promotional purposes on the Gloucestershire Walking Group website.
