Overview

Starting from The Royal Oak car park at Leighterton village, we start our 5 mile circular walk through the village, through a field, where we encounter a pathway with several old stiles. We then make our way down the hill into Westonbirt Arboretum following a designated path, where we should see the many varied trees, turning into their Autumn colours,which is always a spectacular display. We then walk through a few fields and pathways, back into the village.
