Overview

This is the first of three linear walks starting with a short bus journey on a Saturday afternoon before the days get too short.  See also 7th and 28th October.

Most of our walk back to Bourton is on the Monarch's and Diamond Ways passing through the  villages of Farmington and Clapton-on-the-Hill (stops for our own refreshments).   There are some short stretches of quiet road but most of the walk is on paths through lovely rolling countryside (some long grass).
