Overview

From the start we make our way through Garway Court, Cockshoot Wood and Great Demesne before reaching White Rocks where we will start our ascent to the top of Garway Hill, which on a good day will afford us spectacular views not only of Skirrid and Sugarloaf in the Welsh Hills but,  looking back, a fine view of May Hill. Our descent skirts Little Garway and finally the former Knights Templar site which is now the church of St Michael in Garway.
