Overview

From the quintessentially English village of Biddestone, this walk drops downhill into the By Brook Valley at Slaughterford where we will pause for a break at the picturesque church.  We return via Weavern Lane, which is passable at this time of year, with a moderate climb of 350 feet in the 1¼ miles beyond Slaughterford.  Good views, Cotswold architecture, two beautiful villages and the bonus of public toilets and very few stiles!  Bring snack.
