Overview

A varied walk crossing several Cotswold Valleys. Some steep ground in places but also some lovely more gentle woodland paths though nationally important beech woods. Given good progress there should be time for a lunchtime pub stop. Some may recognise parts of the route, though it’s not been on the programme since mid pandemic! Approx 2800ft ascent.
