Overview

Starting from Coaley Peak we walk through woods to Uley Bury before descending to the valley to take the steep climb to Cam Long Down. After walking along the ridge we go down and continue to climb Downham Hill and then on to Uley Bury and down to Crawley. We will cross the valley to return via Cockadilly and Nympsfield.

There will be two refreshment stops. Bring a drink and picnic lunch
