Overview

It's that time of the year for snowdrops to perk up and cover wooded hillsides and shady churchyards with a gentle white carpet. This walk is centred on Kingscote, in a quintessentially Cotswold heartland of pastures, woodland, lanes, and ancient churchyards. The walk will be a figure of eight heading through a number of likely snowdrop areas (assuming they haven't all drowned in the recent rains), with a lunch stop at Kingscote close to the cars.
