We are the North Cotswold Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A short evening walk from Stow-on-the-Wold to see the Coronation Meadow near Hyde Mill with its abundance of wild flowers - late June should see the display near its best.
The walk will take us down past Nether Swell Manor on the Gloucestershire Way with lovely views across the Dikler valley before we cross the river at Hyde Mill to reach the meadow. The return goes upstream along the valley to Lower Swell and on through the Abbotswood estate towards Upper Swell on the Heart of England Way before we climb (inevitably!) back to Stow-on-the Wold again on a stretch of the Gloucestershire Way.
We will spend some time in the meadow, strolling along the paths that have been cut to allow visitors to enjoy the abundant flora before we continue to Lower Swell for a picnic - hopefully by the church but in the bus shelter if wet.
Meet by the entrance to St Edward's Hall & Library in Stow-on-the-Wold Market Square. Parking should be available nearby in the Square but failing that there will be parking at the town car park adjacent to Tescos less than ten minutes walk away.
