Overview

Join us for a lovely, varied walk in charming Cotswold countryside. We go north of the A420 on paths through fields, woodland, hidden valleys and up one short climb. We pass through the pretty village of North Wraxall and then go south of the A420 where the route includes downs, water meadows and one short climb, and finishes with following the By Brook river back to Ford.

Walking boots and poles recommended as there is one stony downhill track, and some muddy sections. There are a few stiles.

Bring elevenses and a packed lunch. 

After the walk, maybe join us for refreshments at the White Hart.
