Overview

The walk is one of the best walks in the Cotswolds. It has stout hills, big views, arresting architecture and classically cute Cotswold villages of Snowshill, Stanway and Stanton. Starting from Snowhill village along parts of the Cotswold and Winchcombe Ways, over fields, high grassland, woods, open wold, countryside lanes with wide ranging views, it extends to take in the villages of Buckland and Laverton. NOTE: There is a long steady strenuous uphill country path to contend with nearing the end of the walk and and if needed, a lovely village Inn to finish.,W3W: packet.novels.store If bad weather is forecast please check the group website (fodramblers.org.uk) to confirm that the walk is going ahead
