Overview

A lovely 5.5 mile walk in the beautiful north Cotswold countryside, which starts from Blockley and makes a broad circuit round Batsford and Batsford Arboretum. There are a couple of moderate climbs and a few of stiles, but it is nearly all on good paths and tracks, plus a stretch of quiet road. It could be a bit muddy in places and we could meet some sheep but cattle are unlikely. We will be stopping at Batsford Church for a snack break, so please bring refreshments.

Suitable for well-behaved dogs on leads.

Note: for those interested post walk refreshments may be had at the Blockley Village Cafe (highly recommended)
