Overview

From the Inn we cross Minchinhampton Common then descend on steep lanes and footpaths to the bottom of the valley, following the cycle track to Nailsworth. We climb through woods and fields to the top of the hill, then across flat fields with spectacular views across to Gatcombe and Minchinhampton. After lunch we descend through fields to reach the road near Longfords Mill, then continue uphill to Box and back across the common. Lovely farmland views, two hills (both up and down) interspersed with flat sections.
Approx 6 stiles. 2 refreshment breaks
