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

Discover some of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds on this walk. Leaving the busy streets of Bourton behind, we head west along the River Windrush before cutting across peaceful countryside to Upper Slaughter. From here we follow the River Eye to neighbouring Lower Slaughter and on across fields back towards Bourton.
384 feet height gain; one stile
We will stop for lunch in Lower Slaughter for approx. 1 hour to give time to view the Church and other features of the village. The Slaughters Country Inn has a lovely riverside setting.
There is plenty to do and see after the walk – Model Village, Motoring Museum and Birdland as well as numerous refreshment and retail therapy opportunities.
Paid parking (card, contactless or phone) at Rissington Road car park, Bourton-on-the-Water, Glos. There are slow EV Chargers here (Connected Kerbs App). Advisable to get here early as it is a very busy place! Car sharing is recommended as parking is very expensive.
