Overview

Meet at Barrow Wake car park, near Birdlip, at 9:45. Check out progress on the construction of the A417 'missing link' and see this part of the Cotswolds before it changes forever. The walk along lanes and public footpaths takes in the contrasting bustle of the A417 and road construction, and the quiet countryside around Coberley. Enjoy the views of the Vale of Gloucester and beyond from the Cotswold Way and Crickley Hill.
