We are the Gloucestershire Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Meet at 9:45 for a 10:00 start. The walk starts and finishes in the historic town of Minchinhampton and takes us through farmland down into the secluded Avening valley. A chance to see snowdrops in the woods at Cherington pond. A pause in Avening at lunch-time, and return via Nailsworth valley, Box and Minchinhampton Common. The opportunity for refreshment afterwards in The Crown.
Facilities, including a shop, in Minchinhampton.
Bring a packed lunch.
Some sections of the walk are fairly steep and will be slippery if wet. Walking poles may be handy.
This is a Ramblers walk and free to join. After 2 or 3 walks we request you become a member of the Ramblers. Gloucestershire Walking Group is GR50.
Do ensure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Walking boots are recommended. Bring poles if you think you'll need them.
We encourage people to book onto this walk via our Meetup site. This helps walk leaders know how many people to expect on the day. If you are unable to, turn up well in advance so that we don't start without you.
Unfortunately, we're unable to accommodate dogs.
Please always check the details for a walk before setting off. If there are any changes we'll update the Ramblers and Meetup websites /apps.
Please use Meetup to offer or request a lift from Cheltenham, Gloucester or Stroud.
Bell Lane car park behind church. Free.
